2nd Annual Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

We made our second annual trip to the pumpkin patch with Uncle Luke & Caitlyn. Last year they took Piper to pick out pumpkins. She had so much fun and I couldn't wait to go again this year with Will. Piper tried to pick up EVERY pumpkin while Will tried to THROW every pumpkin that he could pick up.

Then we came home and Uncle Luke cooked us some awesome chili and the pumpkin carving began. The kiddos dug in the pumpkin goo but weren't up for that long. They were ready to see the finished project. This year we got much more creative than just a plain jack 'o lantern and we thought we could do better than that this year. We got us some pumpkin carving kits and picked out designs. It was fun but took longer than we expected...but worth it. Luke made a wolf on his...but cut off the nose...poor mister wolf. His is the red pumpkin. Caitlyn's is a ghost in a cemetery and mine is a cat....and you can tell what Piper's was. It does look like she ate the inside of the pumpkin but it is really princess spaghetti o's.

Thanks Uncle Luke and Caitlyn for the fun time and wonderful memories. We love you both!!
