THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30th - 2008
It wouldn't be Halloween without the pumpkin carving. Usually Joe, Brian and I each do one, but this year, it was just Joe. I was going to carve one too, but I had so much going on that by the time I went out to get another pumpkin, it was slim pickings. There was like 2 left and they were small and deformed and I didn't have time to shop around to find a good one. Thank goodness Brian brought home the "perfect pumpkin" (See Sept. 13th post) over a month ago. I was worried it would be rotten, but it was fine.
I gutted it and Joseph carved it. I kept trying to help him because I like carving pumpkins and I wanted a turn, but he wasn't having it. He wanted to do it himself. I think it turned out pretty good.
Also today: Addy and Ro came over to play a while. I love those kiddo's. And, our home teacher came by for a visit tonight and brought Joseph a book. He knows that Joseph loves to read and he is a librarian and they often have extra books that they give to him. I thought that was pretty thoughtful and nice of him. And the book is one I haven't heard of yet, but it looks like it's going to be a good one.
Happy Day!

The pumpkin looks awesome. Was that freehand?
We didn't do pumpkins this year. See, I am a bad mom.
While Joe is very artistic, the pumpkin was not freehand. He used a pattern.
UH... Where are my pumpkin seeds???
I wish I could carve that well. Mine look a little sad.
Joe,
Your pumpkin looks great!!
