Carter had been sick with strep the entire week before Halloween so we weren't able to carve our pumpkins until Saturday, October 30th. We thought he would love digging into a pumpkin with a big spoon and getting all the mush out but... we thought wrong! He was over it after about 5 minutes! Joe worked so hard designing the pumpkins so that each family member had a pumpkin to represent them! Joe drew a perfect Elmo for Carter, a power T (Go Vols!) for himself, and a happy jack-o-lantern face for Courtney. Here are the few pictures we got of Carter before he took off playing outside!
Checking out the insides!
Helping Daddy remove the mush! 
He liked spooning the mush out a few times but then he was finished!
His favorite part of pumpkin carving time was taking the lid on and off!
Checking the lid for pumpkin ick!
Carter with the finished product... his Elmo pumpkin!
