Baby Gutting Pumpkin with Dad's Help
Real Dad Blog Version: This dad enjoyed his days of Halloween with his son. I also give some Halloween suggestions.
Halloween starts weeks in advance for children and moms. Moms get the candy all ready for the big day and decide what costumes their babies should wear if their kids are not old enough to pick out their own. For dads, they probably do not really care as long as the costume their kids wear is pretty cool. We do get into a

couple of things such as giving out candy to the kids, walking door to door, saying trick or treat, or bring our kids around the blocks with their pillow cases. We, also, do the pumpkin carving because we enjoy taking out the guts. The greatest joy is seeing the excitement of our kids faces.
Baby's Jack-o-Lantern
My Halloween started the night before as we carved out Rylan’s second Halloween pumpkin. It brought back the childhood memories when I got to take out the seeds and play with the gooey insides. Seeing Rylan getting excited playing with the inside of the pumpkin got me thinking about the future; the future of Halloween and children getting excited for their cool costumes and their creative jack-o-lantern designs.
Pumpkin Costume Getting Ready for Halloween
Our son was a pumpkin for his second Halloween. It was not this dad’s first choice but when it is a gift from my mother in-law and my wife just wants his kid to be cute, there is not much a dad can do. I just shrugged my shoulders and went along with the cuteness.
Back from Trick or Treating
Even though I wished he were something else, he still was a little stud in the pumpkin outfit. He enjoyed wearing his little costume. He also enjoyed going to trick-or-treating all around the neighborhood while seeing all the other children in the ghost and goblin costumes. My wife got to take him to all the houses while I got to hand out all the candy. It was an awesome feeling to see her so excited to have a cute little guy in a pumpkin outfit.
Calling it quits from a long night of trick or treating
When Rylan got back from the Halloween festivities, I saw a big smile on his face. He was so happy doing something fun and exciting. Even though he has to give all of his candy away and probably will not remember his first experience out tricking or treating for candy, I know it was a great learning experience for him. I am excited to share more memories of Halloween with him and our future kids. Bring on the pumpkin guts and ghostly costumes!
Look at my candy dad!
Dad Parenting Suggestions for Halloween
- Let your wife have her way with what your kids are for Halloween. It is great feeling seeing them happy about their kid’s Halloween costume.
- Do not buy Almond Joys for candy or other weird candy. Kids find that uncool. Whoops!
- Find a cool costume and not too scary. I hate seeing little kids scared. You can always find a scary mask for the older kids.
- Always make sure your kids are safe. This comment is self explanatory.
- Your most important job is carving out pumpkins if your kids are not old enough. A lot of wives hate the gutting of pumpkins.
