Pumpkin Fun

We had a lot of fun this year picking out our pumpkins and carving them!  The day that we chose to go to the pumpkin patch was pretty chilly and threatening rain.  It held off for most of the time that we were at the patch, and I think we were only rained on for about a half hour.  The Farm was selling kettle korn and freshly made cider donuts, so those fought off the cold and the wet quite nicely.

Ephram was pretty tired at the pumpkin patch, so he spent his time either in my arms or Andy's.

Charlie was the opposite, full of energy and so excited to be back at the Farm again.  He ran around grabbing pumpkin after pumpkin declaring that it was the right one for me.  Finally, we found my pumpkin... and Charlie found one for Ephram too!

Our friends found a cool bumpy pumpkin.  Their little girl Charlotte was rather cute running around with the pumpkins too.

And Charlotte's grandma let Charlotte and Charlie help push the wheelbarrow with all of the pumpkins inside.  They had a lot of fun with that wheelbarrow!

Back at the house the kids had a fun time playing around while the adults talked.  We kept the littlest ones off the floor for most of the evening because the older kids were having so much fun.

The carving was lots of fun too.  We found out that bumpy pumpkins have very thick skins... at least ours did.  This made it quite interesting to scoop out the innards.  Andy tried to feed some to Tanna.  I don't think she knew he was teasing him at first.

We all enjoyed pizza and then called it a night.  Our first pumpkin was done... we had a couple more to finish later!
