Pumpkin Carving 2006

GET THAT STUFF AWAY FROM ME! (TYPICAL GIRL)
Below- I don't remember what they were all looking at but it must have been pretty exciting!
We went to a pumpkin patch today out at Galley Farms, which has lots of other attractions at it as well (check out the next couple blogs to see - they had a corn maze too that we didn't get chance to go in as well). The patch was great, really big with tons of good pumpkins to choose from. After we went home after being out all morning, we (Auntie Tasha, I and the kids) all went home for a long, much needed nap. Then we we woke up, we ate supper and went straight to work on the pumpkins. Jackson didn't want to touch the goo at first but he got a little braver at the end. Avery, well, you can see in the pictures that she wanted nothing to do with the goo. But, she really liked crawling on the crinkly newspaper and holding the permanent marker, pretending to draw on the pumpkins. The pumpkins turned out well, but next year I think we will need a sharper knife! Anyway, we don't have a visible-from-the-street porch but our front window faces the front doors so we put our pumpkins on the inside window ledge so everyone who comes to our building can see them!
