Getting into the spirit

Nathan and Madeline carved their first pumpkin last night. We admit it - we're not too into this holiday, but I suppose we'll get there as the kids get older. (Still sounds weird to think we'll have "kids" plural, instead of just Madeline. Now if he'll only get here so it CAN officially be plural.) Anyway, Madeline was interested in the process, but just couldn't get over the smell.

And here's the finished product - Nathan insisted on a "no flash" shot to show how scary it is!
