Landon's First Pumpkin

On Friday Landon had his first encounter with a pumpkin.
He was instantly captivated!
When big sister showed him the wonderful goop inside......
...he was all the more intrigued.

So we put him on the floor and let him discover it on his own.

So began two taste tests!
First:

Hmm, not so good, let's try that again!
Second:


Okay, the verdict is in...Landon does not find raw pumpkin tasty! But he sure loved the pumpkin bread we made later and playing inside the pumpkin was splendid!
Needless to say, he ended up in the tub because he was covered in pumpkin from head...
...to toe!
One of the best Halloween moments ever!

The taste may not have been to Landon's liking, but he didn't seem to mind the look, or the feel. Rylee and Mom are cute in their matching orange tops.

Those faces are priceless! You are brave to let him taste the goop. I would let finley touch it!

So gross! No wait--so cute! No, gross! No, cute! I guess it's magically both.

Way to pull off orange, Rachael! Very impressive.

Oh my word, I'm laughing so hard at the taste-testing! What awesome parents you guys are for letting him just go to town! Seriously, what a great post!
