Pumpkins


We've had so much rain, so much cold, I'm itching to get outside. But that's fall for ya, isn't it? We had a break in the precipitation, so I loaded the kids up and headed to the pumpkin patch. It was very muddy, but I'm not afraid of mud. It was chilly, but we bundled up. The only thing that spoiled our outing was that everything was so expensive there. They had a bouncy thing; looked like fun. But it was $4 a person. Yeah, I don't think so. And the pumpkins were $5 and up and half of them were rotten. So we found a bin full of gourds for 50 cents a piece and I told them they could pick any one they wanted! And when they couldn't decide I let them buy two! "Really? We can have two!?" I'm such a generous mom.
FYI- Gourds are hard to carve.

Joshua's facial expressions in the first picture really looks like Tony. That deep look of concentration. Now that is a scary picture at Halloween. love aunt kathy
