Pumpkin Carving

We had a full weekend beginning on Friday evening. I drove the kids downtown to JOhn's work for a show and tell kids day, basically a meet and greet of families at his company that have young children. It was a nice event, with appetizers and in a beautiful meeting room overlooking downtown. We stayed for an hour or so and then headed over to Mike and Em's for dinner and pumpkin carving, and to wait for my folks to arrive from P-town (they came to town to help us watch the kids for a Halloween party we were going to on Saturday night....more details to come). We had a fun time carving pumpkins, although Emilio wasn't so crazy about digging out the pumpkin guts. Marco was even less enthused, in fact, Michael showed him some pumpkin innards and Marco proceeded to gag and then immediately throw up. Poor guy may be scarred for life and may never want to participate in pumpkin carving if his stomach is that sensitive. We all felt really bad for him. Gabi sat on my lap for a little while poking the pumpkin, but basically liked watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Demand. Anyway, we used our creative abilites and made some fun faces, and also enjoyed some baked pumpkin seeds.
