Pumpkins

Saturday night we took the girls to the fall festival at church (Harper stayed with Grandma and Grandpa because we had to work a booth for an hour and he wouldn't have been able to hang with us)! The girls really enjoyed it. We enjoyed spending time with them. They dressed up as thing 1 and thing 2 - of course I didn't take pictures, so I will later this week. They got popcorn, jumped on the jumpers and did the cake walk. They both won and picked a bag of cookies each. They were very excited to go share them with Harper. Then today we went and got pumpkins. Oh boy Harper was excited!! BALLS! - is all he kept saying. It was a great day to be surrounded by so many!! The girls were so cute picking out their pumpkins - Chloe needed a big one and Carly needed a little one. They pulled a wagon around so that we didn't have to carry the pumpkins, and when we were done picking them out, they needed a ride!

The kids bringing their pumpkins to the counter - it's nice they are able to take care of things themselves!

The "hayride" when the work was done.

And when our fun adventure was done at the pumpkin stand we had to come home and carve them. The girls decided all the shapes for the features of their pumpkins - they came out cute.

Chloe cleaning out her pumpkin - they still won't put their hands in it! This is Carly eating pieces of pumpkin!! Matt told them they could eat it and they ate a ton of raw pumpkin~ Gross! He said they wouldn't get sick - it is a vegetable and you can do that - looked yucky to me, but they enjoyed it and ate a bunch!

Chloe and Dad working on cutting her face - triangle eyes, circle nose, and a smile with 5 teeth. Carly had to have eyes with eyelashes, circle nose, and a bunch of circles for a mouth. Harper's had 2 teeth, a circle nose, and oval eyes.

They came out cute!
