Hi there all,
What have we been up to . . .
Well, I bought a pumpkin (to eat - small, round and green) from the vegetable cart that goes past, and that put the idea into my head that Rob, Milo and I should carve Jack-o’-lanterns for Halloween.
I had prepped Milo about what was involved by showing her images on Google, and she was INTO it.
We found three good pumpkins at a stand on our way home from work. A big, medium and tiny pumpkin was Milo’s idea – Dad, Mom and the “children” pumpkin (what she calls anything small).
Our friend Harpreet got wind of our plan, and was very keen on joining the festivities with her niece (2) and nephew (4), and to that end, she arrived with both kids and 2 pumpkins about 8 pm on Oct. 30th.
Now, Milo and Rob had carved out their pumpkins about 6 pm while I made our dinner. (Milo really is not free until about 9 pm after making our dinner, then the two dinners downstairs). In this way, Rob was free later to help one of the kids, and Milo did not miss out on the fun of carving. She LOVED her jack-o’-lantern, BTW, and took it to her room almost right away.
Harpreet’s little dudes were so cute. The boy and even the tinier girl, drew their own faces on their pumpkins (and as quick as a wink, that 2 yr. old managed to get to the couch cushion with that Magic Marker only putting one little black “tic” on it before Hansi the Omniscient snagged it away from her).
I wanted them to get the idea about Trick or Treating, so had two little bags which they went “door” to “door” out on our balcony - saying Trick or Treat (or some variation of that) each time, and I put a treat into their bags at each “door.” Fun was had by all. Pix attached.
