Last night was the start of the annual privilege that i have to carve/decorate my childrens' pumpkins. Truthfully, Matthew isn't that particular yet. Garrett, however, loves to be consulted on every detail. Last year he wanted a monkey pumpkin. This year we decided on a giant fish pumpkin, complete with the prophet Jonah inside.
Garrett refers to the giant fish as a big shark. Since the Bible isn't specific to what the great fish actually was it sounds good to me. The part of Jonah is played by a miniature pumpkin.
Garrett helped me scrape out the pumpkin guts while I did all of the cutting. Matthew stood nearby for most of the adventure realizing something fun was happening, but uncertain to what exactly it was that was fun, exactly.
At the end of the evening we had a pumpkin rendition of the book of Jonah. Tomorrow, we have one more pumpkin to decorate. No ideas how that will turn out yet.
