HalloWall-Een

For Halloween this year we wanted to have themed costumes for our family.  We had a huge box from Austin's new carseat and Jeff figured he could make it into something to wear.  After looking through our movies for ideas we decided to be Wall-E characters.  Jeff worked long and hard to transform his box into the animated trash compactor, Wall-E, while I created a headpiece and 'directive' symbol for Wall-E's girlfriend, Eve.  Austin was the little plant that causes all the commotion that the entire story is about. 

 (Everything except the picture of trash was handpainted on Jeff's costume)

Who readily eats pumpkin goo and won't touch a birthday cake?

I know this is quite belated, but I've got to hurry and catch up on these posts before Christmas!

We carved our pumpkins the day after Austin's birthday, and unlike the anti-birthday cake scene, Austin was all about getting his hands on those pumpkins!

We pulled off the tops and showed him how the insides were full of seeds and stringy goo.

  To our shock he put his hands right in the bowl of pumpkin pulp and started inhaling it!

He ate the pumpkin goo so fast I had a hard time making sure there were no seeds before he took another handful.

What kid would rather eat the insides of a pumpkin than a yummy birthday cake?

Apparently this one!
