Pumpkin Fun

So you know we went picking pumpkins...


And last night we carved them and put them on the porch. Emma was SO excited. She loves the pumpkins, and the little gourds we got with them.


Then she decided to get silly. She'll even say "Silly Emma!"


She thought it would be great fun to go over to "Momma Pumpkin" and give it a kiss.



Then she went to the "Daddy Pumpkin" to give that a kiss.




Sometimes the best things in life are free... like a hug and a great smile. And a pumpkin kiss!



I also finished an afghan that I've been working on for years. I purchased this yarn after seeing the free pattern in the store in 2008 -- back when I was pregnant with the first baby and before I knew he/she was gone. I put that yarn away for almost a year, and then started working on it again in September 2009. I've worked on it on and off since then, but just completed it tonight. It's HUGE -- over 7ft long. Weighs a ton, but so warm and awesome. I love it. It's going to a friend in North Dakota (very appropriately!).
