Carving

Like I'm sure many of you did this weekend, we carved our Halloween pumpkins.  This has got to be one of my favorite holiday traditions (despite the grossness of picking a pumpkin with the most 'innards' I have ever witnessed!)  We had a great night carving and just being together, laughing at the pumpkin 'guts' and planning what we would carve.  The pumpkins were carved and ready to be taken to the front porch when I turned around and it hit me,  my little V was washing her hands at the kitchen sink.  (Sounds silly, right?!?)  But there she was, no chair or stool to stand on, not even on her tippy toes, fully able to reach the faucet and soap with no help.  When did that happen?  This growing thing is really getting to be too much for me!  And here we go doing it again.  Maybe this time it will go just a millisecond slower...

All lit up!

Big V & I did 'pac-man' pumpkins, kinda fun!

Hope you all carved a few of your own masterpieces this weekend!

Happy Halloween!
