A Day Full of Pumpkins

Today was all about pumpkins.  I didn't plan it that way, it just happened.

First Lydia and I explored a pumpkin patch; you know the kind where they sell pumpkins for an arm and a leg?

We ran ....


We climbed ...

We fell ...
And we did some thinking ...

....
Later we carved a pumpkin!  Thankfully we still had all our arms and legs because I only paid $2.50 for the pumpkin at the grocery store ...

Lydia THOROUGHLY enjoyed scooping the guts out of the pumpkin.


She even tasted it (of COURSE, this is my child we're talking about).  I thought it was funny that when I cut the eye pieces out she tried to put them back in.  It's a puzzle, right mom?


Eventually, even with all her "help", I did manage to finish carving the pumpkin.  I'd like to say it turned out amazing, but art really is not my forte.  Let's just say it's your average jack-o-lantern.  Ooohh and those are my birthday flowers in the background. Aren't they pretty??



AND a bonus video for the grandmas and grandpas (and aunts and uncles) out there who appreciate them.  This may have to be censored for people (a.k.a. brothers named Matthew) who have stomachs which might empty at the slightest hint of the word "pumpkin".  Don't say I didn't warn you ...

That video was downright GORY! Haha! So fun, we bought our pumpkins at the store also....so much less fun, but much cheaper indeed.
