Easton and I took on the task of carving the pumpkins this year. We were excited to find some at the local TESCO (supermarket). We laid out some newspaper on the floor in the "conservatory" and had at it. It took Easton a minute to get what was going on, but after a little while he dug right in. It was a blast. He even had his own spoon to dig with, but soon he decided it was more fun to watch daddy and then wipe the "poopie" (pumpkin mess) as he would call it on my leg. What a funny guy we have.
The other picture is Easton and I just starting into the big pumpkin. Easton called it the daddy pumpkin. He is doing really well with relative sizes. Everything is either Daddy size (large) , Mommy size (medium), or baby size (small). This held true with our pumpkins. We had the daddy, mommy, and baby.
After we finished we lined them up and had fun lighting the candles. We set Easton on the ledge with the pumkins and lit the candles. Easton is sure loving this time of year.
That is right...abrakebabra! If you can't tell by the amazingly creative name, it is a kebab fast food joint. They have burgers, kebabs, and baguette sandwiches. We just love the name so much, it makes us both laugh when we say it. Go ahead and try it out...abrakebabra, see you smiled. The meats are chicken, beef, or donor (lamb). If this hasn't peaked your interest enough click here to go to their website to check out the menu.
If you would like to know what it is like to experience the abrakebabra, here is a picture of my pregnant wife on one of those strange craving nights where she wanted something she would never normally eat. I have to take these rare opportunities and run with them when they come up. You might notice the nasty grease stains on the paper bags, yes my friends it is real fast food...just with that little twist that reminds us we are in Ireland.
The time is late and it is time to go. We will post more later on our adventures in London as well as our fun on Halloween.
