Kevin's Pumpkin

I feel like no matter where we go,

my girls are always treated extra special.

We've been approached by bakery workers at the grocery store,

who have given Piper cookies.

I can't tell you how many balloons she has been given 

at various places.

The ladies at the post office 

love to hide candy, chocolate and stickers 

in our post office box

for when Piper helps to collet the mail.

There is a lady that sits behind my parents at church.

We have only ever been able to attend church with my parents a few times,

but when we do,

that lady always has a package of Welch's fruit snacks in her purse

and is eager to share them with Miss P.

And stickers.

Goodness.

Always stickers.

Everywhere we go people give us stickers!!

It's lovely!

And it just continues.

A few days before we left Newfoundland,

my parents' neighbor decided that Piper was to have the pumpkin

that he had grown in his backyard.

Is was the first he had ever grown 

and had taken her into his yard to let her see it.

Of course, she loved it.

(What doesn't she love and get excited about?)

And so Kevin told us that the pumpkin belonged to Piper.

The only thing he wanted in return

was a photo of her carving it.

Not a problem for this photo crazy momma!

Both Piper and I

(and Elliotte too)

were happy to oblige!

Thank you Kevin!

Piper with the prized pumpkin!

Taking off the top of the pumpkin
and checking out the guts!

Both girls loving the pumpkin guts!

Piper practicing her grumpy face and Elliotte as pleasant as usual!

Poking out the mouth.
(She was a much bigger help this year than last year!)

Giving him 'teeth' with her fingers!

With the finished product lit up in the dark!!!
