The Great Pumpkin

Happy Halloween! The Lewis family took of the huge task of carving a pumpkin this year. I say “Huge task” because it is a yucky undertaking. I thought this year it would be fine, since Michael was old enough to clean out the gooey-ness from inside the pumpkin…but as you can see. He did not exactly enjoy the job. So, I ended up finishing up the job. Sister tried to help…”Mommy, my do?” But she was not getting all of the slimy, stringy goop stuff.












The next night Mike and the kids drew and colored the pattern on the pumpkin and cut it out. Michael posed for me several times. Most of the pictures have half of Katelynn’s head in them. (She was really busy sweeping the small porch we were on, so we were in her way a lot.)


Michael enjoyed this process MUCH better.






















Katelynn was upset because daddy would not give her the big knife to cut the pumpkin. NO FAIR. This is the result of her daddy telling her no. (This is a new trick – isn’t it fun?)


Once she calmed down, I was able to get her to pose briefly by the jack-0-lantern….”CHEESE” with stuff in our mouth.

On Sunday, we took the kids to a fall festival at a church close to the house. Of course it was the hottest day in October so we were all sweaty and were not able to really enjoy all of the games. Michael was Batman including a mask and sister went as “Spider-girl”. Sister and daddy tried to stay in the shade. We were there for an hour. Michael played several games and got candy. We also bought some cotton candy and watched the fluff grow in the bowl and wrap around the stick. Another wonderful weekend...
