Loads of Fun!

Mya is a great little helper and laundry is one of her favorite chores to assist with. Usually her favorite part is putting the clothes in the dryer, but today daddy let her ride around and play in the hamper too. She was all smiles until it was time to get out.

How to Carve a Pumpkin

How to Carve a Pumpkin

by Mya Grace Malson

Step One: Select the size and shape of pumpkin to best fit your design Step Two: draw your design onto your pumpkin
Step Three: cut a hole in the top (mommy has to do this step)
Step Four: assess the situation to see how big of a bowl you will need to put the "guts"in

Step Five: using your hands, scoop the guts out of the pumpkin...

...and place them in the bowl provided to you by mommy

Step Six: cut out the design drawn on in step #2 (as demonstrated by Aunt Amanda)

Step Seven: place a small candle or tea light in the bottom of your now hallow pumpkin and put the lid back on

Step Eight: pose for a picture to document this year's artwork

Step Nine: place outside and light the candle!
