My husband always has these little tricks up his sleeve. Is it a mini pumpkin? Looks like it. It's clementine season and we have our daily dose of clementine after dinner. Good way to get some good vitamin C into Max. Tonight, Julien started cutting his clementine with a knife while Max and I peeled ours with our hands. Intrigued, Max watched wondering what his father was doing.
Apparently when Julien was young they didn't have easy access to pumpkins like we do today. His grandfather would make homemade jack-o-lanterns for the kids out of clementines.
This reminds me of when Julien I started dating eight (!) years ago and another trick he played with a match and an invisible string. I was impressed then and I'm still impressed now.
I did that all the time. I still do! does a great impression on the boys :)

Sorry to say it, but I still can't discern what it is I'm looking at.... even after you have described it for me. :(

I'm so happy you're blogging daily. I've been a reader for over a year now and had such withdawals during your quiet times. I check every day faithfully and now it's nice to see what's happening. I had to go through the same injections as you when I had my son Noah so I feel a great deal of empathy for your situation. Much love to you and your family XX Kirsty

That looks wonderful! Maybe I should try that with my daughter. She used to love clementines, especially peeling them, but now she's in a phase where she doesn't like the slightest skin on anything. She won't eat grapes or clementine slices or corn now (all food she used to love), all because of the skin.
