Keeping Up With Kennedy

Kennedy and I got over a nasty stomach flu just in time to do a bit of pumpkin carving today. Kennedy wanted to do everything herself this year. I usually do the messy stuff then help her with a simple design. She managed it all on her own just fine. She enjoys gutting the pumpkins as much as I do. I am glad it was a nice enough day that we could complete the whole process outside on the lawn. I didn't have to worry about the seeds and mush getting on the carpet. I also got a few really good shots of her with her jack-o-lantern on the warm fall afternoon.

She was very intent on saving the seeds this year so we could have a whole patch of our own pumpkins next year. I am not sure how well that will work out. I did manage to roast a few batches of the seeds. Kennedy really enjoyed my pumpkin pie batch. I covered the butter soaked seeds with pumpkin pie spice and sugar before roasting them...... who wouldn't enjoy that?

Kennedy costume turned out really good. I will post a few pictures of her on Halloween if I have the time. This has always been my favorite time of year and I am so glad that Kennedy has come to enjoy it as much as I do.
