I have always been one to love pumpkins and Halloween!! While it means summer has come to an end and the dreaded cold weather is on the way, it is still such a fun time!! Each year I get the kids pumpkins, but I typically will get one for each kid and that is it. Pumpkins are really expensive considering that they just sit on your porch or are made into jack-o-lanterns.
This past Saturday, all three kids had somewhere to be. Emily had a softball tournament, Ryan had band practice to gear up for his band competition this coming weekend, and Lydia had a birthday party to attend at the water park. Mike decided, since he had not been able to come to a tournament of Emily's in a while, that he would take her and stay with her. This was, like always, a 12 hour thing. In between band practice and birthday party, Ryan, Lydia and I went to get pumpkins. My brother had been to the Middle River Farms where they let him fill up a wagon (all you could put on it) for $25.
They have now increased the price to $30, but we crammed our wagon full. You can see a picture of Ryan and Lydia pulling it. We hated that Emily and Mike could not come with us, but the next few weekends are booked and we wanted to try this out before they were too picked over.
Once we got the pumpkins home, and Emily got home, the kids all put the pumpkins together and divided them up. They then decided on where to put them and made their own arrangement of them. This past Sunday I took a picture of the girls (Ryan and Mike were on their way to see the Redskins) dressed for church--with the pumpkins. Ryan and Lydia picked some big ones so we could only get a certain amount. We did get a few small ones, but the kids put them in their rooms. Love pumpkin season!
