This year Hudson wanted Dracula, while Ava chose a pattern featuring a cute kitten perched atop a whimsical pumpkin face. Both kids happily dug into pumpkin guts and seeds, before sitting elbow-to-elbow with me for the ceremonial carving. We played Halloween music and munched on candy. Then we lit our masterpieces on the front porch and danced on the cool lawn for a few glorious moments.
Yes, we love pumpkin carving. Hudson sang, "I love my Dracula!" and "I want to suck your blood!" Ava was proud that she'd helped more this year than any other. And I was simply pleased to have passed on one of my favorite fall traditions once again.
Happy Fall, Y'all!
