GlitterGirl and I carved the pumpkin this afternoon while TwinkleToes napped.

GlitterGirl still deals with sensory stuff, but I insisted that if she wanted to help carve the pumpkin, she had to help gut the pumpkin. And she did. And was completely grossed out about it, but by the end she was laughing about how gross it was, so I think we did okay.

We use the pumpkin carving kit saws, but we don’t use their patterns. We are creative with it, and have a pretty ghoulish face that is all our creation. By using the little saws I can feel comfortable letting her help carve.

And now the pumpkin seeds are in the oven, oiled and salted and a touch of season-all on them.

I just wish that RK had told me about the surprise brownies he cooked last night (and hid in the oven) after I slept. I’m afraid they got cooked again when I preheated the oven. Oops.

And now I need to get RK to cut some onions up, since it takes about four hours to cook homemade french onion soup, and that is what is for dinner. We even have deli sourdough bread to stick in it and fresh cheeses to melt on top. Mmmmmm.

Yes, it is fall.
