pumpkins PuMpKiNs, PUMPKINS!!!

Last week we made our annual trip to Pack's Pumpkins Patch in Farmington. The weather was PERFECT for just such an outing! The kids had lots of fun (and so did Matt and I). We decided that this year was the best yet for pumpkin carving. The kids did most of the work themselves (minus Owen) which made it a lot more enjoyable for us! I love this time of year!!

Picking the perfect pumpkin








This is another reason the carving was so great...the garage. This is the first time we've done this, and honestly, it made all the difference. We were much more relaxed about the mess!





The finished products!! We actually had a neighbor call and say she was walking by when they were lit up and had to look closely to see if they were fake. My kids were pleased with that compliment!

(not real sure what Alli is doing in the above picture...ever the poser!!)







It's hard to believe Owen was a newborn last time we did this! It's so fun to have him a little bigger this year!

How fun to go to a pumpkin patch and carve pumpkins together! We have yet to venture out with our kids to do that. I know, we are horrible parents! You have inspired me to try this year. We'll see...

Love the pumpkins! You guys are such cool parents. Trent took our kids to Walmart to pick out their pumpkins. One day we will be awesome like you...
