Here is the queen of the pumpkin walk carvers; queen because she is the oldest of the family of carvers and her parents were the king and queen until they passed away. (I wonder if they do such things as pumpkin carving in heaven?) Anyway, the last few days in October the room downstairs becomes a production factory. Pumpkins are brought up from KK and then mom sets down armed with her tools which remind me of a surgeon, her pumpkins, her magazines and patterns, her garbage can and most importantly, her drop cloth or pumpkin skirt and then she starts carving. Sometimes she will remember that she has to come to bed so she can get up the next morning. I usually kiss her good night and say, "don't stay up too late." She replies, "I won't" and when I ask her the next morning what time she got to bed it is usually around 11:30 or after, especially during pumpkin carving time. Today is Wednesday and I will not see her Wednesday night, nor Thursday night, nor Friday night, nor Saturday night until very late. Am I complaining? No! She is happy and excited and is doing what she likes to do and is developing her talents. What do I do on those evenings you ask? If the Yankees are in the World Series I am usually watching those games but this year I am not sure what I will be doing.

Hmmm...so that's where Brady gets his "night owl" habits from. He's much like his mother.
