Wrestling with a Witch



Dave, Melanie and Carson were here this weekend for Conference and applesauce (but the apples were not ready). We (Grandma and Grandpa :-) took care of Carson in the morning to let Dave and Mel sleep in a bit more. Carson usually gets up between 6:30 and 7 AM and we were partying way to late on Saturday night for that early hour. But Ben has to deliver Sunday papers by 7, so we were up anyway. To keep Carson entertained, we took out our Halloween witch Vance bought years ago. The witch was thoroughly examined and explored by the time he was done: he talked, tasted, and scratched as he got acquainted.
This was my favorite picture, it looks like he is kissing her, but he is actually biting her nose.
Then I pulled out the plastic pumkin and placed it about 2 feet from Carson to see if he could reach it. Smart kid, he first pulled the blanket towards him, inching the pumpkin closer, then he rolled, scooted, screamed and talked his way there. I think crawling would be faster, but at 9 months, he has not discovered that tool yet. Watch out when he does, as he is still pretty mobile.
