….and all through the kitchen, two girls were bustling about. They coloured and glittered, painted and planned all before the real fun began. Carving pumpkins!! Isn’t that one of the best parts of the pre-Halloween build up? I know that they really enjoyed it as did we. I am the official scooper assistance which is hilarious because growing up it was Scott who was the official scooper. I mean, ugh – pumpking guts. Katrine shares my aversion but Elspeth got in there and it looks like I may have an assistant next year!!! I however, do not enjoy the actual carving. That is a Glenn job and he does it well. Anyways, it was fun all around.
On Tuesday there was a Halloween party and parade at Sparks. Elspeth was full of smiles all of the way to and from Sparks. Upon entering the house she ran to find her Baba because she simply HAD to show him her loot. I loved their craft. They made Halloween lanterns and Elspeth is so looking forward to carrying it. That said, I am fully expecting that which ever one of us goes out with the kids will end up carrying it after about two houses.
