Friday night Josh and I carved our first jack-o-lantern without adult supervision. We had a great time deciding about the face and then putting our knifing skills into action. We were both quite pleased with the results and spent the rest of the evening sitting on the couch in the dark, enjoying our glowing pumpkin. We introduced Becca to the pumpkin the following evening. She loved it!
In addition to the pumpkin, we added a little cat to our home this weekend. Becca loved having her nose painted black, and she cried when I cleaned the paint off before bed. We took her to a trunk-or-treat event, and she was very excited about getting candy in her bucket. On the way to the event, Josh told her that people might put fruit and tracts in her bucket . . . she said, “no! candy (in) bucket!” Becca enjoyed seeing the “eensy weensy spider” on different people’s trunks. She loves spiders because of the song.
The best part of the event for Becca was the bounce house. Since it was a small event, we let Becca go in by herself. If you ask her about it, you’ll get a very enthusiastic response: “Bounce House! Fall! Yay!” The next day I had to run errands and everywhere we went Becca asked to go in a bounce house. She broke down and sobbed at Walmart when there was no bounce house there. I’ll have to keep my eyes out for events with bounce houses!
I loved the pic of her in the mirror. Miss you three so much….
Sweet kitty cat. Nice job on the pumpkin.
She is SOOO cute! 🙂
Bella and I LOVE all the pictures – wish you could see her smiles when she looks at Becca dressed like a kitty kat. After looking at her on the computer, she pointed to a picture of Becca above my desk. Guess she recognized her. As far as Halloween scary goes, it is pretty scary seeing Josh carve the pumpkin with the huge knife. 🙂 Looks like a fun weekend!
Happy Halloween! If Becca had been here she would have had a lot of fun answering our door and greeting all the kiddos who showed up in costumes. About 150 kids showed up! They loved getting the tiny Bibles and John 3:16 coins, and of course some sweets!! Your jack’o’lanterns look great!!!
