Sunday Funnies – Carving The Pumpkin Muppet Style
Posted on Sunday, October 16th, 2011
My Gram saved the Sunday Funny Papers for me and my daughter Nicole every week – many, many years ago. I think it gave us both an appreciation for the fine art of mixing humor with work. (It could also explain a lot… ) I’ll try to pass on my Gram’s gift here, sort of as a reminder to laugh every day. Thanks, Gram. Let’s see who’s got a chuckle for us today…
I admit it – I’m a big Muppet fan. They came after ‘my time’ of course, but my daughter grew up with them, so I had an excuse for sitting in front of the TV and getting hooked. Many of the expressions my daughter and I use today are actually Muppetisms. I even let some of the Muppet philosophy guide me from time to time.

Now, take a minute to watch the Swedish chef as he tackles a couple pumpkins trying to side-step Jack o’ Lantern status:

Halloween is a great holiday, don’t you think? It’s pretty much stress free. I mean, really… 1) carve a pumpkin, 2) put on a stupid costume, and 3) go out trick or treating. I don’t care if you’re 5 or 50; this is a no brainer. Goofy fun.
I also have had fun watching my grandkids personalities come through as they sort their candy. Read more about this by clicking here: Halloween – A Glimpse Into A Child’s Mind
As I said, the Muppets have provided me (and my daughter) with lots and lots of lessons, and always with a laugh. Hope you enjoyed this little trip through the land of the Muppets as well as a little Halloween fun. Happy Halloween to you!
