A favorite Tradition at the Miner home. We went and picked them out at the beginning of the month. We did so with Grand ideas to make it a family night outing to the pumpkin patch, but when we realized that the sun was going down, it was cold, and it would have been expensive, we went to a roadside farm and picked them quickly before sunset. Anna and Maddie were still excited. Seems like October was a busy month! Dave and I usually think about our pumpkins a little bit before (Dave even prints out extensive, crazy designs, but this year we kept it simple. Seems like that is the motto these days at our home.
Both girls liked carving and had the “do it myself” attitude. Though Maddie wasn’t very fond of the seeds when it came down to it. She just wanted the knife to herself. I carved some of her favorite things right now, Stars, circles, and spiders (fake Halloween ones) then let her go crazy with toothpicks. It made for a funky little pumpkin! Also, She got a Stye in her eye a couple days prior… so sad looking!
Anna did her pumpkin ALL BY HERSELF! It turned out quite interesting. Then she went and wrote everyone’s name on their pumpkin. Pretty good for a 4 year old! (she also took some of these photos with our little camera, hence the awkward angles and discoloration.
