Hi Pumpkin

Isn’t true how some great moments are just that?  Great moments.  A second in time that only you understand because you were there and even when you try to retell it to others, you know that they are  not going to appreciate it like you do.  This happened to me on Tuesday.  I will do my best  to retell it but I guarantee being there in the moment was a million times better.

Lately I’ve started letting Luke walk on his own to and from the car when we are coming and going some where.  He loves the independence, I tell you.  I only allow this in our drive way, don’t worry, he’s not running rampant through parking lots or anything.  This is especially helpful when I’m returning on days I have school because I have a lot to carry.  So on Tuesday it was nice out and actually not raining for a SECOND and I let him lead me up the walk way to our front door.  We had carved our pumpkins last Saturday night, so other than seeing them on Saturday night, he really hadn’t seen them since due to rain, which is so fun and I’m not bitter about at all.  As we approached the front door he sort of slowed down and looked at them…..and proceeded to climb up to the top step/porch and take a closer look.  He bent all the way over so his hands were touching the cement and puts his face right into his pumpkins face and says, “HI!”

This made me giggle and I started to say, it’s not real buddy.  But then I thought, no way.  I love it.  I love the  minds of kids.  And after that he climbed down and stood so that he and his pumpkin were face to face and said hi again and few other things.  Maybe like Happy Halloween or nice smile.

And if I missed my opportunity to get a picture of him with his pumpkin of 2009 because now it’s raining again and looks like it will never stop, I’ll be sad.  But I’ll have that memory tucked away (on my blog).
