Pumpkin Patch & Carving

As the theme of the year is “Ack!  (insert holiday) is almost here! We have to get (insert needed holiday accessory) right now!” 

And so it was, we rushed out the weekend before Halloween to get some pumpkins. By the way, the pumpkins were buy one get one free – procrastination does have its benefits.  Please note the date of this post.  Please also note we do not have a Christmas tree yet.  Like I said, “Last Minute” is definitely the theme of 2011.

We went with Grandma and Papa Rosbrugh to the big ol’ pumpkin patch, which is always fun.  Though I missed out on the corn on the cob.  Dang.

Getting taller, bigger and older. No way to stop it, it seems!

Running and jumping.  Theme of the day.

Picking out a little pumpkin.

 

Getting ready to ride the train! Love my boys!

My boy sure loves trains!

Watching giant pumpkin carving.

Finally time to pick out the perfect pumpkin.

Nope, just time to run.

Always trying to recreate “It’s a Hat.”  Never quite the same.

My handsome boy. 

 

I used to be so on top of things I would send out Halloween cards.  Not this year.  Though this was our Halloween card pic. There. Enjoy.

Luke was disturbed by the scarecrow with the beehive on his head.

 

We sent Luke to bed and started our carving.  This is the first year in I don’t know how long, that we carved pumpkins.

Our pumpkins: Mine (Maniacal Laughter – left) and Todd’s (Death from Above – right)

Todd made most epic sunflower seeds.  Left: sweet (cinnamon & sugar) Right: savory (Santa Maria seasoning)
