October 28, 2012 – Parenting for Gnarness

i think the kids like Halloween better than Xmas. The buildup and tail of Fall Festivals makes for a month of magic. Christian, Jewish, Druid Harvest-Moon Beheadings are all savored; my family believes strongly that bouncy houses are non-denominational.

3 hours of drinking and watching football, technically, is family time if I am making banana blueberry pancakes and carving pumpkins. Separating seeds, scooping guts, retrieving meat, designing, carving, sawing, plucking, drilling, toothing and cleaning kept the kids completely engaged. I sipped coffee and kahlua.

behold!
