Once the girls were feeling better, we visited the pumpkin patch at Reese's school and bought three pumpkins. Each girl got a tiny one and we picked out a large one for carving. The following days were full of pumpkins rolling down my hallway. And, for anyone curious, those small pumpkins are incredibly durable. Paige tested hers vigorously by picking it up and slamming it against the floor repeatedly.
On a cloudy afternoon Reese enjoyed some pumpkin painting.
The weekend before Halloween, we carved our large pumpkin. It got a "happy face" with three square teeth. Reese wanted to help scoop the "goop" out of the pumpkin, but only with a spoon. Paige wanted nothing to do with the process.
Afterward, Daddy roasted the seeds for us-half with olive oil and sea salt, the other half with cinnamon and sugar. Yum!
