Well, I did it! I finally gave in and carved a pumpkin. I was thinking back trying to remember the last time I tried this. Well, it has to be more than 14 years ago... at least.
Let me say, it's not as easy as I remembered. Just for the record, I'm not a big fan of Halloween. I don't dress up or dress up Lauren. I did when she was really little... she was a black and white kitty! She was adorable! I guess I have trouble reconciling my beliefs with the practice of the holiday. I don't do horror and Lauren can't eat candy...so why bother anyways, right?
But, for those of you who do like trick or treating...if you want to celebrate...celebrate away. Just don't expect me to join in.
Which brings me to my pumpkin. I wanted to celebrate the fall season with my daughter. I thought this could be something we could share together. Aside from sensory issues, she seemed to enjoy the process. Would I do it again? I don't know. We will see next year.
Ok for you who like my pumpkin, I downloaded a template from Birds and Bloom, taped it to the pumpkin and traced away. The hard part was not having the correct tools. Always, always, always have the right tool for the job!
Happy Pumpkins!
