The Pumpkin Patch Parable by Liz Curtis Higgs is a cute children's book that Owen has enjoyed reading this Fall season. The book explains how a small seed turns into a pumpkin and the steps the farmer takes in turning the pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern. Owen had the privilege of picking and washing pumpkins and last week he watched Daddy carve his pumpkin.
Aubrey had the honor of pulling the stem off, but she needed a little help from Daddy.
Because of our reading Owen was aware of what was inside the pumpkin but it was a whole new experience for him to be able to see it, smell it and touch it.
Aubrey is a Daddy's girl and likes to be wherever he is. She sat in the corner next to his chair looking at books while he carved the pumpkin. I had to crawl under the table to get the picture below.
Here he is! And he even has a name:
The last thing the farmer in the book does is wait until it's dark outside and then put a candle inside the pumpkin. Owen was very excited to do this!
