Pumpkin fun

I wish I could show you the cute pumpkin picking pictures from this year.

Corrine crawling on all the huge pumkpins, her little face pudging out from her hood; Ava with slime up to her elbow and tears rolling down her face after falling and putting her arm in a goopy pumpkin; Michaela and Payden finding just the right one, and all of them in the tires of a huge tractor.

I wish I could show them to you, because that would mean that there was actually a photo card in my camera recording all those cute shots that I took.

But alas, that card was at home in my printer and not a one of them got saved. Oh, well. Life goes on.

I can show you, however, our carving circus. I say circus, because that is what it sounds and looks like when you carve pumpkins with four kids.

Grandma carved Corrine's pumpkin for her.

Ava loves to scoop the goop; she is not afraid to get dirty, except when it is a yucky, cold pumpkin rotting in the field!


The older girls do their own from start to finish now; we only help with little things. It is messy, but lots of fun.




And of course, we had dinner in a pumpkin, which only one of my kids liked this year. Go figure.
