After several thwarted attempts, Donald, Emily, and I carved pumpkins this weekend. We purchased our pumpkins from Hopewell Methodist Church's pumpkin patch with my Mom and Dad with the idea of carving pumpkins all together. Add in homework for a third grader, multiple runny noses, assignments for class, and life in general - the pumpkins didn't get carved for several days. Mom and Dad's pumpkin was rotten when we cut it open - Emily did NOT appreciate this! She didn't enjoy the "cobwebs" inside the pumpkin, either, and chose to let us scoop the guts out for her. She mainly played a supervisory role in the great pumpkin carving and dictated the exact type of "sad face" she wanted on her pumpkin. After carving them up, we roasted the seeds. She was not a huge fan of these, but it's part of the general experience, right? The highlight of the evening was listening to the Sounds of the Seasons music channel from our cable service. Who knew there was so much Halloween music out there? Emily had fun for nearly an hour dancing to the music - with all of the lights out, per her orders. She even attempted some quasi-breakdancing moves. I would have loved some pictures of her poppin' and lockin' to the Monster Mash, but it was completely dark except for the jack-o-lanterns! At any rate, hope you enjoy our artistic endeavors!
