Pumpkins!

We went to the pumpkin patch, twice! We went Monday night for family night, then had so much fun I went back with my friend Bonnie and her kids during the day. There was a corn maze, train/tractor pull, pig races, petting zoo, and lots of pumpkins! We really had a good time. The next Monday night we carved our pumpkins. Damen wanted nothing to do with it. Ok, that's not entirely true, he did want to hold the knife and occasionally poke his pumpkin, but I ended up carving, scraping, and cleaning the whole thing. I suppose that's what I should have expected. Dustin carved the big one and did a great scary face. It only took him twice as long as it took me, not because the pumpkin was bigger, but because he's a crazy perfectionist that has to get it JUST right. It's a genetic thing. Here are the pictures to prove that the above paragraph is true and accurate:)

Damen, Chelsea and Abbey, these are the best pictures I could get, really!



See the knife in his hands? Spooky!



Ahhh, the finished product. They lasted about two days on our front porch, between the heat during the day and the close to freezing temps at night they didn't stand a chance. It was great fun though!
