Pumpkin Patch & Carving

We visited the Fairfield pumpkin patch this year. I went alone with the kids, so it was challenging to get a good shot. They loved it though! Max was so into it and his favorites were the small ones. I tried to get a good picture of the two of them, but Maddie wasn't staying still fo long.

 Of couse Max is at a good age for following directions most of the time. Love this smile!

 They each had fun on the tractor, but they didn't want to share the wheel. I thought this picture was funny. ;)

 I told Max that we would be carving a pumpkin so he was asking all week. Finally on Sunday we carved a pumpkin. Of course Shawn picked a challenging design, but he had done this before so we tried it. I thought Max would have fun picking out the gooey inside, but he wanted nothing to do with it. Maddie on the other hand was all about it. Max had a little pumpkin that he carved and made a mess with.

 The weather was pretty warm and the mosquitoes were out, so had to come inside and Shawn finished his masterpiece. It took a while and the kids had dinner before Shawn finished, but when we got the candle in and turned the lights out the kids loved it. Max was so proud to display it on the front porch. Fun day with pumpkins! Halloween is just one week away!!
