Pumpkins, Pumpkins

So, these are in reverse order, but, what the hey! This past week, we went to the Pumpkin Patch, and then we carved our pumpkin. You have to document these events, right?

The kids pretended to help me gut the pumpkin, but, I pretty much did the whole thing myself. They were too grossed out. Silly kids. I saved the seeds, and roasted them afterwards. They would have been really good, if I wouldn't have drenched them in salt. I'm still chewing on them though. . .

Can you tell they didn't like the slimeyness? Tay was actually a lot braver than Rohne, which surprised me. Yes, Tay is wearing her Halloween costume, Minnie Mouse. She got it from Grandma on Tuesday, and has been wearing it ever since. She even asked me if she could wear it to bed.

Jake picked up the stomach flu on Monday, and struggled with it all week. He didn't feel very good in this picture, but, was still a good sport, and did most of the carving. After this, he had to lay down for a long time. We only got one pumpkin this year, for all of us. The kids didn't really mind, and it took a lot less time.

Tristan just watched from the Johnny Jumper. He can't really jump yet, but, he likes to sit and watch us.

Here's the annual family Pumpkin patch photo. This was our 3rd year going with Jeremy and Monique, to Jubilee Farms. We had a good time, and it wasn't as cold as it looks. Just muddy, muddy, muddy. It didn't sprinkle on us once!

Handsome hubby, cute kids.

Cousins are the best!!!

Here's Jer, and the rest of the gang. Check out Collin in the backpack. He is such a chubby, cute, crazy-haired boy. So fun to be around, because he smiles all day long!!!
