Pumpkin Carving Party
We had a little pumpkin carving party last night. It started with an impromptu play date with R. She and Lucas got in my car at the end of the school day and immediately started clamoring to play together. Why not? Luckily, R’s mother said yes!
They obliged me with this sweet photo. Both Lucas and Asher love it when R comes to play!
Meanwhile, I made vegetable soup with all kinds of goodness: butternut squash, leeks, onions, peas, garbanzos, carrots, parsnips, celery, beet greens and rice. I baked bread, too. The house smelled terrific!
Later on, more friends joined us for a potluck and some jack-o’-lantern fun. Anytime Lucas gets to use a knife, he’s happy. (He’s asking when he can have a pocket knife for whittling. Yikes!)
Here he his working on a pumpkin that we grew in our garden!
R’s ghostly pumpkin turned out great. Parnassus helped X out with his.
Asher drew his pumpkin’s face and I carved it for him. Too cute.
The talented Miss T, aka Snow, worked hard to make the grossest jack possible. She’s planning to spill the pumpkin guts out of her jack-o’-lantern’s mouth, as if it’s throwing up. Yuck
Didn’t manage to get everyone in the frame here, but I think you can tell we had some fun. Later the Blooms showed up and we all ate a yummy dinner. Much thanks to Parnassus for the yummy salad, green beans, and pumpkin pies! Frostee got to satisfy a craving for pancakes in honor of her grandfather.
And the Giants won.

Definitely imagine that that you stated. Your favourite reason seemed to be at the net the simplest factor to keep in mind of. I say to you, I definitely get irked at the same time as folks consider worries that they just do not recognise about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the entire thing without having side-effects , other people could take a signal. Will likely be again to get more. Thanks
