pumpkin carving



Well it's Fall...even though it doesn't feel any different here. But we're trying to get into the Fall mind-set. So we bought a pumpkin and carved a 'not so scary' face on it. We had been reading a book about pumpkin carving, that Grandma Wood got him, called The Pumpkin Gospel, so we thought it would make more sense if he got to experience carving a real pumpkin. Ethan was a little grossed out by the mushy inside and once he got slimed he was done. Which doesn't make sense to me because he can be covered in sand or dirt and it doesn't bother him a bit. We then put a candle inside and Ethan thought that was the greatest thing.... I don't know what it is about boys and fire....

"God's love is like a candle that shines from inside out. It's beaming deep within me, and so I now can shout." (quote from The Pumpkin Gospel")
