carving pumpkins...

with someone else's kid. :)

we have some wonderful neighbors. we have really enjoyed getting to know our very next door neighbors ken, ami, khang and new baby kevin. they are such a sweet family. we also love our neighbors on the other side of them, ken and kathy.

this afternoon, after school i went to ken's (very next door neighbors) nail shop and got a wonderful pedicure and manicure. because i was there and khang was there after school, i asked if he wanted me to take him home. he's in kindergarten and hangs out at his dad's shop until it's time to go home for the evening. as we pulled into the garage, he saw michael's car and asked, "is mike inside?" i said that he was and after we got out i watched khang walk to his door. after i told him i'd see him later he said, "but... i need mike." "do you want to come in and say hi to him?" he responded, "no, i just need him to help me make a face in the pumpkin." (come on! how cute is that?!) i promised khang that after dinner, if michael could, he would come get him and they would carve pumkins.

sure enough, as soon as we got home, michael walked to khangs door and had him come over for pumpkin carving. they had a blast. michael made one and khang drew the face for the other one. michael cut that one out too. :) i went to heb to get some candles and khang couldn't have been more delighted. i think this face says it all:

khang's smiling face...

khang and michael getting down to business.

the first product, michael's jack-o-lantern.

good teamwork!

khang's pumkin in the dark...

and in a flash. khang was so proud of the spiky teeth! :)

he was so excited that he grabbed ken and kathy and showed them too!
