Season of the Gourd




It's that special Season of the Gourd. Elizabeth is digging it to the max. Today we carved the pumpkins that we picked on Sauvie Island last weekend. We made four, one for Daddy (the big scary one), one for Mommy (the big scared one), one for Big Sister Elizabeth (the small, happy one), and one for Suzannie (the medium happy-baby one).

As I write they are out on the stoop glowing with candlelight and looking mighty good.

Elizabeth was afraid to put a candle in Daddy's jack-o-lantern through the mouth, because she was worried it might bite her.

Smart girl.
