Pumpkin Carving, 2011

Today we carved our pumpkin, and Madeline seemed to enjoy it as much as any three old could muster. She declared, "I want a cat!", so her Daddy did his best to fulfill her request. Sweet Daddy.

First Eric showed Madeline the finer points of cleaning out the pumpkin. She was not a fan of the smell and squishy stuff. No surprise there!

Eric going at her with the innards...Madeline is not amused with Daddy's antics!
"Eww, there's some on my hand!" I believe were Madeline's exact words. Such a priss-pot! :)
However, she did her part to empty out the pumpkin.


However, no Stewart project is complete without consulting the Internet! We weren't exactly prepared for Madeline's "I want a cat!" request, so off to find a cat face to consult. Madeline began to draw her own blueprint. So cute.
Daddy worked diligently to create an awesome cat. At this point, Madeline was off playing. The fine details were a bit much for her.
TA-DA!! Daddy exceeded expectations! Madeline was thrilled with the result and extremely fascinated with the candle on the inside!

Happy Halloween!
