I'm not great about rituals. We don't dye Easter Eggs or make Christmas Cookies. But this year, we couldn't let Halloween go by without carving Pumpkins. We all had so much fun that I have vowed to create more moments like these.
Dearest Josh joined us for the event and that made us all happy.
There was great concentration.
(anyone else nervous about how Josh chose to carve....?)
Sophie lasted a little while and then my vest became some sort of costume.
Still, she told me how she wanted her pumpkin carved: eye shaped eyes... a nose shaped nose... and she let me give it a typical jack-o-lantern mouth.
Josh finished second and in typical mind blowingly amazing fashion.
Roy really nailed it!
And Riley did a great job with Cyclops - and he learned some valuable lessons about carving... thank goodness for toothpicks!
Now to start shopping for cookie cutters!
