It's Just Perfect!!!!

I don't know if I should admit this but...

..sometimes when we are just living life...

 

I hear it in a blog post.

And when we were carving pumpkins...

 

I knew it was happening,

I heard our lives in a story

 & ran around snapping pictures to complete our book.

 

So here is our story...

 

Rocco's Pumpkin

As told by Mom

 

Rocco wanted a Pumpkin.

 

So, he went to the pumpkin patch with his family.

 

 

 

He ran through the straw maze,

 

 

danced in the corn,

 

 

and even gathered up enough courage to hug the scary witch.

 

But, the best part of all was that Rocco got his pumpkin.

 

A BIG,

 

orange,

 

heavy pumpkin.

 

And he took it home.

 

All the kids drew out faces for their pumpkins

 

 

Then, they scooped out the cold slimy guts.

 

They toasted up the seeds until they turned brown & crunchy.

 

 

Rocco nibbled on the seeds while he waited for

his turn to have Mom carve HIS pumpkin.

 

And when it was finished

he sat back and looked at it.

 

He liked it!

 

 

Until...

 

He saw the other pumpkins.

 

When Annie's pumpkin was done he said,

"I wish my pumpkin had teeth like Annie's!"

 

But his mom said, "No Rocco, your pumpkin is just perfect."

 

Then, when he saw Bo's pumpkin he said,

"I wish my pumpkin had a scary mouth like Bo's!"

 

 

But his mom said, "No Rocco, your pumpkin is just perfect."

 

And when he saw Roo's pumpkin he said,

"I wish my pumpkin had ears like Roo's!"

 

 

and he held some ears up to his pumpkin.

 

 

But his mom said, "No Rocco, your pumpkin is perfect."

 

Then, his mom put some candles into his pumpkin.

She told Rocco to follow her.

She carried it into the bathroom,

shut the door,

and turned out the lights.

 

Finally. Rocco smiled, and said, "It's just perfect!"

 

True Story.

 

 

 

You might be wondering, "Where is Kit's pumpkin? 

But he didn't need one...because he is one.

 

 

I am going to turn this into a hard covered book

for Rocco for Christmas.

 

I can hardly wait!

 

Happy Halloween!

I don't usually care...but this feels like a part of me.
