It's time to carve PUMPKINS!
Each year ... well, at least the last few years, our tradition has been to carve pumpkins with Eli's family. His younger brothers and sisters are up for digging into pumpkin brains and slicing their way through thick rinds to see what creative designs they can come up. No exceptions this year! Last Friday evening after a birthday dinner, we covered the table in newspaper and had at it. My only regret is that I forgot to take home some seeds to roast ... I may have to get another pumpkin just for that purpose before they are all gone!
I might be biased ... but I think Eli's Batman pumpkin (with NO pattern, just looking at a picture) would be a prize-winner! I love doing this each year - although this year I mostly ran around attempting to amuse Reuben while checking in periodically on the carvers. But, either way, each year bring new faces on the pumpkins and the same tradition!
Jealous!!! I think I'm carving my pumpkin this week and I can't wait! Is it bad that Halloween is probably the main reason I want to have kids (kidding)? I can't wait for the adorable costumes and the whole shebang :)
ReplyDeleteNope! I have so much fun doing Halloween as a family! Once yours start arriving, it will be great! And, maybe we can coincide ... = )
