One night last week, we headed out to find the perfect pumpkins. Jackson had no problem finding his (and I was actually impressed with what he chose). I, on the other hand, could have stood there for 1/2 hour trying to find the perfect pumpkin. So BJ finally says "Jackson help Mom pick her pumpkin" and sure enough he picked one right out. So on we went into the store to pay $14 for two large pumpkins. We obviously didn't shop around for the best price.
We quickly made dinner that night so we could get to carving. I expected Jackson to think it was cool until we had to get all the gunk out of the pumpkin (sometimes he has issues with having dirty hands). Well, not that night. He dug right in and grabbed the guts of the pumpkin. And I think his favorite part was throwing the guts into the garbage can that was below the table. We ended up with a bit of a mess but it was worth it. BJ carved an Elmo and I carved a Grover per Jackson's request. And believe it or not, they actually turned out pretty good.

I'm still shocked he liked doing this as much as he did
