Carving Pumpkins

Mykenzi taking the top off the baby pumpkin she

picked out when she went to the pumpkin patch

on her preschool field trip.

Just a ball of energy during this whole activity,

same as last year! The holidays have been a lot

of fun since she was born, but they're only getting

better now that's she's starting to understand and

showing so much excitement and enthusiasm.

She's like her mom about Christmas; she started

listening to Christmas songs (particularly Mariah

Carey's "Santa Claus is Coming to Town") on Sunday,

and has listened to it several times every day since!

Here's something I don't understand about my little girl.

She's not a prissy girl, but she's not a tomboy either.

She loves to have nail painting sessions with me regularly,

but she also loves to play in the dirt, however, she didn't want

to touch the insides of the pumkins because it would be to messy!?!?

Mykenzi proudly picked out each of those faces herself when

I showed her several that I found on the computer. I figured

since she can't carve them, she should at least be able to decide

what they look like, and I loved her choices!
