We carved pumpkins for Family Home Evening one night and Jaxon was so excited. We got a pumpkin carving kit earlier in the day and all day he kept saying that he wanted to carve "punkins" so I kept telling him when Daddy got home we would. Well, as soon as Jason walked through the door, Jaxon ran up to him and told him he needed to carve pumpkins. Jason tried to tell him we had to eat dinner first, but Jaxon didn't care, he wanted to carve pumpkins NOW! He was driving us crazy and Jason looked at me and said, "He doesn't even know what carving pumpkins is, we could tell him that hitting a pumpkin with a spoon is carving it and he would beleive us!"
Well, I had to run something to the neighbors house and I come back and Jaxon is at the table drawing on the pumpkin with a marker and hitting it with a spoon. I looked and Jason and asked what he was doing and Jason said, "He's carving the pumpkin." Jason had told him that carving the pumpkin was hitting it with a spoon! I laughed so hard! Eventually we got around to really carving pumpkins and Jaxon loved it. He didn't however, like getting the yucky stuff out from the inside, that was his least favorite part, but he still did it!
