I have been away from doing my weekend
leisureship writing. I hope to get back on track with that feature on my blog.
October is a great time for football,
raking leaves and going to pumpkin patches and apple orchards. With Halloween
right around the corner and crisp temperatures in the air it is a great time to
spend your day picking out just the right pumpkin and then spending time as a
family carving that pumpkin.

| My son's pumpkin, hope you can make out the dinosaur. |
We did that this evening. First, one of my
daughters came home from a friend’s house with her carved pumpkin. She used a
stencil to carve a cat on the front of her pumpkin. My son had a pumpkin from a
couple of weeks ago and we have had it outside. We brought it in tonight and
carved it. He wanted a dinosaur on his pumpkin. So my other daughter drew the
dinosaur on the front, she is the artist, and then we carved out the dinosaur.
Whatever happened to old school designs on the pumpkin? Today people want
pictures or sayings and they use stencils instead of free hand.
Whatever is your preference it is fun to
carve the pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern. We also cleaned the seeds and will
bake the pumpkin seeds and enjoy eating them. This is always a fun way to relax
as a leader. Spend some quality time with the family creating memories that
they will remember forever.
What favorite fall event do you do that
bonds your family and creates lasting memories? Apple orchards, hayrides,
pumpkin picking and carving or attending a highschool football game are a
number of fall time events. Whatever is your pleasure go out, relax and enjoy
the fall.
