Jack O' Lantern

For Family Night tonight we had a lesson on the Harvest and how Heavenly Father helped us to make things grow so that we had food. Afterwards, we carved Noah's Pumpkin that he received from the Great Pumpkin on our doorstep. Last Saturday, we went outside and on our porch there was a pumpkin with a note that said " Hello, I am Noah's Pumpkin, Happy Halloween." Mom helped get all the stringy, ikky stuff out of the insides. Noah kept going "ik ik" If the strings accidently touched him he would freak out until it was taken off. He had an ice cream scoop to "help help" with the seeds. He had to scoop and dump them into the bowl. It was a very serious business. Dad then helped to make the face. WOW! We really like our pumpkin. It was the coolest when we got to light the tealights inside with fire. Noah kept blowing them out so that we would light them again. Before the closing song we sang "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes." Noah jumped up and down for joy when Mom and Dad were doing it. Overall, It was a pretty successful night. Now Kersten is roasting the seeds so we can have a delicious snack. Hooray for Pumpkins.
