So being a mom has made me borderline obsessive compulsive. I feel with every ounce of my being, that this thing called parenting is just a little bit easier if we are clean, organized and polite. The first two, I am trying to give my children a little bit of grace on. So this year, I put Martha's guide to the perfect Autumn season back on the coffee table, and allowed Blake to create his own look for his pumpkin. My ideas of the perfect polka dot ghost white pumpkin with accented green gourds will have to wait until next fall. Blake, with the help of our good friend's "tweenagers" helped to carve pumpkins last weekend.
Blake was so proud of himself and all of his hard work. He would stand in the dining room and admire his work...until Chippy, the friendly neighborhood squirrel, wanted to add a little of his decorative flair.
Blake decided that he hates chippy, and he is going to starve him.
There you have it.
