Picking and carving pumpkins . . .

Last week we did our traditional trip to the pumpkin patch to let the kids choose pumpkins. Although it was pretty cold, they still had a lot of fun!

Each of the rows of pumpkins had a street name. Here are Cade and Ambree by John Deere St.

So Excited . . .

The kids thought this trailer filled with hay was pretty neat. Can you tell they haven't been raised on a farm! :)

The kids had fun riding the tractor . . .

Rolling the big pumpkins . . .

Using the kids sized wheel barrows . . .

And going through the corn maze . . .

When we got home, we got right to carving the pumpkins. The kids were very helpful, can't you tell by the following pictures. ;)

Daddy and Cade made a pirate ship . . .


Ambree and I made a regular old Jack-O-Lantern face . . .

The kids on the front porch posing next to their carved pumpkins . . . It was a fun night! :)

Too fun! Abby dug the trailer filled with pumpkins (not hay). Something about a trailer appeals to these suburb kids. ;o)
