When we got home this afternoon Lon and I carved pumpkins!
We started with the little sugar pumpkins, putting in the decorations from Fredericksburg. The bat, the cat and the witch! 
Lon is working on the cat
Ta-Da! The cat is done! Next up, the cat and the witch! Lon did well with those
He wanted a carved pumpkin too, like the ones in New Hampshire. So I asked him if wanted to draw one or pick out a design. He picked out a kitty face for Mommy to cut out. He was a bit miffed he could not use the knife to cut out the little pieces. He got over it when Daddy gave him some candy corn. 
He did get to pull off the paper, which he really liked
Oh my goodness! What has taken residence in Lon's room! It must be big!

Nice Holiday traditions. I could never carve a pumpkin. You did a great job.
Love,
Mom
I seem to remember carved pumpkins. The jagged smiles, the triangle eyes. Excellent.
Much more sophisticated than the pumpkins we carved in Mobile!
They did not have pre printed patterns to carve out when we were in Mobile. Ours did have charm, lots and lots of charm
