Pumpkin Patch & Pumpkin Carving

We took a little family trip to the pumpkin patch.....

 

 

Take two...

 

Brooks manned the pumpkins in the wagon....

 

Cade kept throwing these little guys into the wagon....I think we wound up with 5 at the end, we paid for two and somehow came home with 1...go figure??!!

 

I tried to get them to cooperate once more for a picture....but Dani was my only willing participant

 

Since the boys didn't want to take a picture....I decided just Dani was a perfect solution....she is growing into a beautiful young lady!! 

 

Brooks surveying the pumpkins...he wasn't to happy about the hay around his feet! 

He also thought the little pumpkins were apples...hence why he is trying to eat it!!

 

Then we took our pumpkins home and had a little family fun time before we prepared them for carving.....

 

Daddy and Cade did tricks with their pumpkins.....

 

Pumpkin Carving time.....

 

I decided to paint mine....

 

And then it is carving time....redneck style!! Josh doesn't like the pumpkin carving knives so he uses his drumel (sp?) and it works like a charm on those pumpkins!!! 

 Our finished product....

Dani did the owl, Josh made the LA sportsman and mine is the crazy blue one

 

We decided to have a contest for a winner, however they were all so good we had to award three winners:

 

Dani-best animal

Daddy-best sportman design

Mommy-best painted

 

Until next year....
