Pumpkins--Garden to Carvin'

We planted pumpkin seeds this spring on a whim, with very low expectations. Much to our surprise, we harvested 4 pumpkins! It was fun for the kids to watch the pumpkins grow, and also fun to carve our OWN pumpkins for Halloween.

This was taken after church this morning. No one was much in the mood for pictures.

Papa working on pumpkin #3. By this time, kids found the pumpkins less exciting than dinner.

Nora and her Cat Pumpkin.

William was very specific about how he wanted his pumpkin to look: circle eyes, square nose, rectangle mouth with lots of teeth!

Isn't this winking pumpkin cute with this little princess (Audrey insisted on trying on her costume to make sure it was ready for Halloween)?!

Pumpkin #4's destiny was a PIRATE!

A little pre-Halloween treat. The neighbors are so generous!!!

  1. Awe, they turned out beautiful. They're even more cool since you grew them yourself. Darin's a pretty talented carver it turns out. =) Happy Halloween.
