What's that smell?

No. The title of my post is not the first thing that Scott asked when he got home yesterday. Although that would have been appropriate.

No, the title is the question Cade asked when Scott started carving the pumpkin that Cade had brought home from his school's field trip to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm out in Celina. Cade hated the smell of pumpkin. So much so that he covered his nose for the 20 minutes it took for us to carve and clean out the pumpkin. Jack actually starting dry heaving and gagging when he smelled it, so we removed him from the room. The actual carving of the jack-o-lantern didn't turn out to be quite the fun-filled family event. It was basically Scott carving and me scooping out the innards. Neither boy wanted to be anywhere near the pumpkin while it was being prepared.





But they sure were excited to take the jack-o-lantern outside and put a candle in it! (excuse the out-of-focus images -- lighting wasn 't great!)
