Pumpkin Carving- October 31st

We did pumpkin carving on Halloween.  It is so hot here that a carved pumpkin will not make it longer than a day.  Last year, Taft didn't want anything to do with the carving.  He didn't want to touch them and didn't seem to notice them very much outside.  I hoped that this year would be better.  I even set up the carving outside in case he wanted to play in the seeds and guts.  He didn't.
He was amazed by his pumpkin with a candle though.  And yes, he kissed it.
