This Halloween moment…
A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from our lives.
A simple, special, memorable moment.
A moment I want to pause, savor and keep close to my heart.

Oh, it is indeed an adventure to carve pumpkins with big kids. Think what you like about what it is to let a child work on their own Jack O’ Lantern for the first time—pumpkin seeds and bits and slippery insides everywhere–I know.
But let me just tell you–all these little kids in great big, grown up bodies can indeed make the same mess if they set their minds to it. And sometimes…
some of the mayhem looks…um…dare I say…deliberate. It also seems that every year the pumpkins themselves get way bigger. You know what THAT means…
so. do. the. knives. Now there’s spooky.
Oh, how do I leave these people unsupervised?!!
Fact is, once the nasty, really sharp things were put away and the little carving tools came out–these people were quite fascinating to watch. Everyone was concentrating so hard on what they were doing, that it was easy for me sit back and observe a bit.
Funny–isn’t it, how kid’s, even big kid’s personalities really come out…
when left alone…
with a great big, silly, old pumpkin?
For years now–my sister’s Halloween party has always included the bobbing for apples thing. It’s a no kidding, not for the faint hearted, do or die event–let me tell you. The kids all want to do it. The guys all want to do it. And…even some of my daughters want to do it.
Y.I.K.E.S. is all I can think of to say.
Oh, I thought of one more thing–
I just don’t think I’ll ever want an apple this badly…
maybe if it was Cheetoes…
nahhh…..
right this minute:
Ultra brave restaurant taste testers…
deep thinking reading buddies…
sweet, gentle pumpkin curls…
the magical ability to recover an ice cube before mama catches you…
and five little monkeys—NOT jumping on the bed.
Life is lovely…indeed.
