Pumpkin Patch Pals



Colin and Audrey enjoyed a sunny and warm afternoon at the pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin. There was a very uncomfortable hay ride out to the patch and we walked through burrs to find an orange squash to take home. Tons to see, the kids were entertained by the Halloween and autumn decorations.

Once home, Colin wanted to cut up the pumpkin and eat it. I explained that we carve the pumpkin to make a fun face for a Halloween decoration. The next day at school, Colin announced that we picked out a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch and we were going to cut up its face for Halloween decorations! Yeah, ghoulish stuff, for sure.



In other news, according to our scientific measuring on the kiddie growth chart on the back of his door, Colin has grown almost 2 inches since June.
