Pumpkin fun!

(October 23, 2011)

Just about a week before Halloween we finally went and got some pumpkins!  The kids were so excited to see the pumpkins and pick out their own!!

We were there for about 30 seconds and Gage had his..he wanted this pumpkin and was so set about it!!

 The girls had fun looking at all the different pumpkins!  (yes..we really were wearing tank tops and shorts the week before Halloween..it was SO warm and beautiful!!) 

 I saw this sign and just had to take a picture!  I love it!!

 The Pumpkin Man!  No one would get close enough for a picture but they thought he was pretty cool!!

 Alexis was so excited about her pumpkin!  She was talking about it all the way home!!

We, of course, got a Halloween package from Grandma again this year!  It was full of fun Halloween stuff and the pumpkin decorating kits!

 Here's the felt, glue-on ones!

 Gage and his Pirate

 Taya and her Witch

 Peyton and her Cat

We ended up letting the kids get two pumpkins each so they could use both decorating kits!  Here's the stick-on ones! 

 Haylee and her big-eyed pumpkin! 

 Gage and his black pumpkin!

 Taya and the warty pumpkin!

Peyton and the cat pumpkin!

 Haylee's pumpkins..

 Taya's pumpkins (plus the one she painted at her school Halloween party)

 Gage's pumpkins (and the one he painted at his school Halloween party)

 Peyton's pumpkins..

The kids had SO much fun picking out and decorating their pumpkins!  They are STILL talking about Halloween and pumpkins!!  (and ironically..they each picked out the SAME two decorations for each their pumpkins last year..weird)!!!!!
