we carved our pumpkins last night. it was one of those times where chris and i got super excited in anticipation of the event, hyped it up to the kids ... and it flopped. liam preferred riding his bike all around the deck, giving us a sideways glance now and then, and susanna was totally grossed out by the gooey innards and wanted nothing to do with it.
of course, you'd never know their lack of interest from the picture. amazing how they can perk right up when all the dirty work is done, making it look like they were quite the involved participants! i wish that i could say that liam was laughing hysterically at my creative jack o'lantern design, along with everyone else who stops by. alas, no one is really getting it. i guess not everyone channels their inner math geek like i do.
chalk the entire experience up to a disappointment. what's the halloween form of the phrase "bah humbug"?

That's so obvious.
IT'S PUMPKIN PI!!!!
We went to a super cool pumpkin carving party this year but it did not stop Caroline from shouting, "Gross, it smells! It smells!" During most of the carving. We haven't carved in three years because that was pretty much the same response we got three years ago... Oh well...
