Pumpkin Carving Fun

Today was another perfect day. We started off snuggling together in my warm bed and hitting the snooze button quite a few times. Once we finally got up, we headed off to church. I didn't have to teach Sunday School today so I was able to sit with the family which is so nice. Then we came home and spent the rest of the day together- just the two of us. Abby played great while I read the newspapers and then we decided it was time to tackle the pumpkin carving. I had envisioned Abby loving this activity. I had thought she would love sticking her hands into that gooey mess and reveling in pure delight. However, she stuck one hand into it and then almost gagged. She absolutely refused to put her hand back in, but had no problem directing me in how to do it. :) Although it's not perfect, she did fall in love with the pumpkin and even named it.
After some cleaning up, book reading, CandyLand, Crazy 8's, and a delicious tomato soup dinner, Abby cuddled up with me and asked me to tell her again everything we did today. Then she said, "We had a fun day, right?" Right honey! We had a very fun day just being together.

Don't you just love this face? One hand went into it and then it was over. I tried giving her a spoon to scrape the sides, but she absolutely refused to do it again. So I dived in and took care of all the goo! :)

Here's the finished product. Don't you just love how Abby's claiming it as her own?

When it got dark we headed outside to light it up. We found an old candle and put it inside. Abby LOVED it! You can't see the glow from this picture, I had my flash set so that I could get Abby in it too.

We hope you all had a great day with your forever someones!
