Pumpkins and Sonic the Hedgehog

Today was spent going to church, carving pumpkins and playing outside. Paul helped Nathan and Kayla carve their pumpkins. Nathan was willing to get his hands dirty and clean out the insides of the pumpkin, however, Kayla was much more hesitant to “get her hands dirty”. I believe the phrase she said over and over again was “it’s slimy”.

Once the pumpkins were carved and clean up completed, Nathan pushed everyone outside to play in the pool area and play Sonic the Hedgehog, which is Nathan’s current game of choice. He has watched the show 3-4 times in his life, but he knows all of the characters and everything about the show, the things he learns at school!! This game requires everyone to run around the kiddie pool and chase each other until someone (Paul or I) catches Nathan or Kayla and put them in the trap/cage. It is a good way to burn up energy and wear down the little people. After this we came in the house to play for a bit before dinner and bed. No bull fights last night so we watched a movie, “Sweet Home Alabama”.
