Family Pumpkins
We carved our pumpkins today! After arranging them on the livingroom floor, we let the kids pick theirs (even little Bubba grabbed for one) and then my husband and I picked ours. I was wondering if Short Stack would like carving pumpkins this year, but NOPE! She HATES HATES HATES (her words, not mine) the goo. She would barely stick her hand inside her pumpkin. Bubba on the other hand decided that the pumpkins (goo and all) looked delicious. We spent most of the time trying to grab chunks of pumpkin out of his mouth. He’d just wait till our attention was on something else, pull the top off one of the pumpkins and chow down! Our pumpkins certainly attest to our different personalities. My husband did his and Bubba’s going for simple large shapes. My daughter decided to color hers with marker and then instructed me on the shapes she wanted. I decided to go a little crazy this year and test my artistic abilities when it came to pumpkin carving. Can you guess which one it is? 
I really had a blast and was inspired by the book Dr. Pompo’s Nose by Saxton Freymann and Joost Elffers. Check out books by these authors at your local library. They are totally cute (and amazing!!!)
