Pumpkins Are Terrifying

It's just not Halloween if you don't carve a pumpkin. So, of course we visited the pumpkin patch. Bug wandered all over the pumpkin patch, with only a little help holding our hands, and picked us out this pumpkin for us to carve.

Last night, we carved her first pumpkin.

Her reaction was hysterical. When J pulled the lid off the pumpkin she *shuddered*.

It totally grossed her out.
Even the big chunks of pumpkin that didn't have all the icky stuff on them were scary. She would tentatively touch them and then pull her hand away with a whole body chill.

I've never seen this kid scared of anything, and she was really upset by pumpkin guts.

She was slightly more impressed with the final result. But only slightly.
