Jack O' lanterns

The night before Halloween, we finally got around to carving pumpkins that we bought at the pumpkin patch a few weeks earlier.  Confession time:  I'm not crazy about pumpkin carving.  I hate the slimy guts and the messy seeds.  Luckily Glenn is a champ about getting everything started and both kids love to dive in hands forts to clean it out.  This year, Will wanted a scary face and Reina wanted a kitty.  Glenn is also 100 times more artistic than me so he's also in charge of jack o lantern drawing.  And he does a fine job!  As we were working on the pumpkins I asked Reina if her kitty was a nice cat or a mean cat. She said it was nice but that the kitty had a question.  Kitty wanted to know when we are going to die.  Huh.  Kitty has quite the inquiring mind.  Statements like that generally leave Glenn and I speechless.  But we sure do giggle about it later.

From L-R:  Will's scary pumpkin, Reina's cat and Glenn's guy.  Mine had a feeble W-Y-O carved into it and was a ball of mush by the morning.
