Pumpkin carving and Boo at the Zoo






Yesterday we decided to finally carve the two pumpkins I had purchased about two weeks ago or so. I was really looking forward to making this a fun activity with Emma. I laid newspaper on the table and placed on it our two pumpkins. Richard cut off the tops. I thought for sure Emma would enjoy digging her hands in the pumpkin, but no. Instead she said she was scared and it was "yucky". She did however use the scraper inside the pumpkin to scrape the sides.



After supper we headed to Boo at the Zoo, this was Emma's second year going and Xavier's first, of course. Emma was scared right at the entrance area by a person in a gorilla costume and did not like any of the monster costumes. Overall Emma did have a good time. Oh yeah, Xavier, even though he tried his darndest to stay awake, he did in fact fall fast asleep!
