My Pumpkin!

I am so excited at how well it turned out. I was afraid that by choosing red for the pumpkin and green for the stem* I was going to get a green-topped Christmas globe. Not so. It is exactly as I'd hoped - a deep orange-y red.

Emily had another day of preschool today and continues to love it.

We invented a super special* goodbye to ease her concerns about leaving me. I gave her 3 kisses, 2 hugs and 1 nose rub and then she merrily went with Miss Courtney to go to preschool. (This is more for her Wednesday class at the Rec Center where I have to drop her off and dash downstairs to go to Lucy's class - she was more than a little unenthused about me leaving her with Coach Lynda yesterday.)

*Am I the only one who gets annoyed at the prevalence of the word "super" as part of a compound word recently? Especially in magazines, everything is "supereasy" "supersimple" or "supersophisticated". And it drives. me. CRAZY. It probably is just me.
