I don’t know about anyone else, but we had a pathetic pumpkin crop this year. We grew 1 decent sized pumpkin, and then got an itty bitty green one. I don’t know whether to blame it on the crazy spring weather, or the way I organized my garden this year. It was a good thing my boys each had field trips to pumpkinland, or something similar. They were more than excited to pick out their own pumpkin.
Dan decided to carve with the boys on Wednesday. (Alicia gratefully bowed out to go to her last pack meeting…sniff, sniff.) My boys love this kind of stuff. At least for about 10 minutes, and then they are ready to move on to something else.
Haden carved Garrick’s, since his fieldtrip had been postponed.
Connor designed his own pumpkin this year. He has been drawing options for about a week, and then settled on this one.
They looked pretty cool all lit up.
On Friday after school, we went to the Conservancy Gardens for their annual Pumpkin Walk. It was neat to see all the Jack-O-Lanterns.
The boys loved trying to find the “coolest” one.
People are so much more creative than I am.
These were my favorite. Mr. Potato Head parts at good use!
Now if I could only have all of my boys look at the camera at the same time!! Oh well, I still love them.
After the Pumpkin Walk, Aunt Heather came down to watch the boys for the evening. She was nice enough to help Haden carve his pumpkin. They did a great job. (Until it came time to take the picture.) Looks like it could have been on the pumpkin walk!
There we go, done with pumpkins for a year. Hopefully next year we will be able to get a few more grown!
