Pumpkin Carving
October 29, 2007
It’s Halloween time, and every year, the next door neighbor kids and I carve pumpkins. Usually, the girls do one and the boys do the other. This year, the boys, Q-yes, Q-I don’t know his full name, and Keontez did a pumpkin that had a “mean” face and the girls, Sequoya and Keosha, did a pumpkin with a “happy” face. As they have gotten older, they have learned to actually take turns cleaning out the pumpkin and pulling the slimy stuff and seeds out. Their favorite part of the operation is watching me pretend that the slimy stuff from the pumpkin is a big orange booger and then I “sneeze” the stuff on them. They squeal with delight and then start A-CHOO-ing and throwing the boogers on me.
Ah, the small things that make kids happy - slimy pumpkin boogers! Have a great Halloween!


The happy pumpkin.

Those are the cutest kids, but are those real names? We are carving pumpkins here in the Dominican Republic, but they are getting wet, it has been raining here for 7 days. My kitchen is flooded, but the good thing is my dogs Eve and Martini are learning to swim. Happy Halloween to all.
