Sous-Chef

This spell of grey rainy weather keeps us indoors.

Luckily, Halloween preparations keep us entertained.

The baby loves pumpkins, so we have 4 ready for carving:)

For the first, he sits beside me on the kitchen floor and reaches into the pumpkin for slimy seeds.

Then he tosses the seedy clumps into a large bowl and proceeds to "mix" the seeds with an adult-size spoon.

Then I position him on a chair by the sink and we rinse the seeds for baking.

All the while he babbles away.

His running commentary reminds me of the sweet baby-chatter of Pepples from the Flintstones.
