Carving Our Pumpkin

Monday night we went to Lambert's and carved pumpkins for Family Home Evening. I didn't know how Kinsley was going to react to the pumpkin guts but, surprisingly, she dug right in! She absolutely loved taking the seeds and guts out of the pumpkin and more than a few times we had to stop her from eating it. We had a great time!

Kinsley got bored during the carving stage and attacked baby Caleb with lots of kisses. She also enjoyed bouncing him in his chair. Poor Caleb..... she hasn't learned the meaning of "soft" yet.

When we got home we lit our pumpkin and turned off the lights, Kinsley stood transfixed for more than a minute- a minor miracle!!!

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
