October 30

We've historically carved our pumpkins on Halloween, but given the rainy weather today, we opted to tackle the task a day early.

Each kiddo used a black Sharpie to draw a freehand design on the pumpkin he/she chose. Then Adam carved the Little Boys' designs, while Abby chose to do her own. Lambie, of course, oversaw the proceedings.

They're not everything, of course, and sometimes they change over time, but traditions are an awful lot of fun. And having fun with family is definitely a blessing to me.
