From Patch to Porch

We went to a local orchard to pick out our pumpkins.  We took a little hayride out to the patch to pick out our pumpkins.  It was pretty chilly and my kids were really not dressed for the occasion.  I had envisioned cute pictures in the patch with cute fall outfits.  Instead I got soccer jerseys and flip flops.  Oh well.  We had a great time.  We had to go through huge mud puddles on the way out there and the kids thought that was the best part.

 My kids are always so disgusted by the goop inside of the pumpkins. They never want to touch it.  It makes me laugh every time.



We opted for old school jack-o-lanterns this year. We normally do two intricate pumpkins and it takes us over an hour.  Tonight is took us maybe 20 minutes. love that.

We loved having Nick, Granny, Martha and Grandpa Arden joining in on the fun!

I'm totally jealous that I'm not there for the ride to the pumpkin patch. They all look so excited and cute! I can't believe you opted for simple spooky pumpkin faces. I love the picture with them with their hands in the goop. Thanks for sharing!
