Happy Pumpkin



Tess' pumpkin now has a face! Ryan let her pick from several patterns, and she was all about this happy face with a wide grin.


Ryan taught her that pumpkins are filled with seeds--a word she nows uses with great exuberance. She was pretty dainty when it came to scooping out the slimy seeds, though. Apparently that's what moms are for.




So Mom scooped, Dad carved and Tess helped by singing the "Halloween Song."





For dessert, we had Itsy Bitsy Spiderweb cupcakes! We're going to be sad when Halloween is over!

That first picture is so sweet and dear it made me cry. Thankfully you got me laughing again watching Tess pull out the seed(s). Your cupcakes are amazing! Maybe you guys could celebrate Halloween for another month. Miss you!

Now, THAT is what I call a great Family Home Evening! And, btw, where are our cupcakes? A wonderful pecan pie a la Miriam may not be enough for this week!

Good grief! You are Halloween Martha! I want to come to your house -- for the cupcakes and also because it's snowing here right now.

See my good influence on Mir? She's turning into a veritable Martha Stewart. . .a-hem.

xxoo Nana

But Nana, she can thank ME for knowing what a spider web looks like!

The cupcakes are adorable! Recipe?

I have to say that although the pumpkin is cute, you stole the spotlight by looking way cuter! You're so SKINNY Mimi! And that color is gorgeous on you!

Kisses for Tess...
