"Pooky Goop"

We saw some pumpkins in a magazine about a month or so ago and I told Holden they were "spooky pumpkins" since they were all carved and lit up. So now, whenever he sees a pumpkin, he tells me it's "pooky."

And while we were carving pumpkins this year, he really liked to scoop out the "goop" inside... and then throw it towards Indy....

But anyway, there you have it. The explanation for my "Pooky Goop" title :)

We carved 2 jack o'lanterns this year (one from our very own garden!) and Holden loved it. It was especially fun since he was really able, and willing, to help scoop out all the "goop" - Mommy's least favorite part. And we had such pretty, warm weather the day we did it, which always makes everything better.

We took a bunch of pictures and you'll see that Holden was pretty much being just as ornery and adorable as he could possibly be.

Squishy Goop!

The beginning, when he was still putting it in the bowl and not chucking it at poor Indiana.

Messy, Adorable Holden♥

He was pretending to eat it to gross Mommy out

I think he likes his pumpkin :)

He kept getting "face to face"... goof.
