Tradition

It is a tradition in the Fink family to carve pumpkins at Halloween. When Evan and I began dating I thought he was so weird because he had never carved a pumpkin before. Now of course, with Evan's artist background, his pumpkins are pretty amazing, about 100 times better than the ones I do.  So, this year I wanted to really introduce Liam to this family tradition.

There is a picture somewhere of me, when I was probably 18 months old and my father is placing my hand inside a pumpkin while the whole family is pulling out the guts of their pumpkins. I look terrified, I think I was screaming while the photo was took. And yes, I wanted that picture of Liam this year.

Unfortunately this is the picture that I got instead. Liam wanted nothing to do with the slimy insides of his pumpkin. My rough and tumble, messy boy refused to even touch a pumpkin seed. To say that Evan and I were shocked would be an understatement.
