She's my outdoor girl, always finding her way to the stroller in the garage telling me she wants to go for a walk, so when she sees me get out the wrap she drops what she is doing and comes running. It's so funny. And when she was a baby and I'd get out the Bjorn, she'd pump her arms and legs up and down in excitement. So funny. (And she really isn't naked underneath; Wouldn't that be uncomfortable!)
Anyway...
So, here we are carving pumpkins on our day off from school this week. It was a definite highlight for the kids. And me too really. I'm glad to finally be able to create memories that they will remember from year to year!
This is Matthew's face that we carved. You can't see it in this picture but at one point I found Matthew jabbing his pumpkin with a carving spoon. I had no idea what he was doing, I was just glad to see that it was a spoon and not a knife. He matter a factly informed me that his pumpkin was wearing a belt. And could I do the rest of it? Because his hand was tired. So I completed the belt which looks like the little half dome of an upside down spoon!
...and this is Ella Jane's. I absolutely adore the way she makes people. It's very cute and this little drawing just screams her name. Notice the hair on the sides.
the good stuff...according to Jim who likes to toast the seeds.
And sorry to leave you hanging with no picture of the final product! Perhaps tomorrow night before we trick or treat I'll get out there and take pictures of our new Jack-O-Lanterns.
