Aftermath

The morning after Halloween usually means sifting through the candy bowl for breakfast...and maybe in even toss in a few freshly roasted pumpkin seeds for good measure.

Then with a cup of tea, I pause to reflect.

Pumpkin carving has been a long tradition at our house. Like so many things in my world, it too has evolved with the age of our children.



Kade scopes out the situation, as the little sister in the background reluctantly pulls the slimy seeds from her pumpkin--feigning distaste that is difficult to believe from a little girl who plays with bugs.



Notice the power tool. Boys lack patience on occasion and have this crazy theory that a tool will make it better.



The results were genuinely "Goofy."



A traditional hand carved greeting suits this perfect pumpkin!



Minnie Mouse emerges to delight little girls!



Then on to the grim reaper--meticulously designed and carved all by herself!



May we rest in peace...until next year!
