Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins

We have had lots of fun with our pumpkins from the pumpkin patch this week. Here are the highlights.

On Monday, Benjamin painted a little pumpkin. It turned out to be very colorful!

On Tuesday, we carved our pumpkins for Family Home Evening. Stephen is teaching an MBA course on Monday nights so we bump long activities to Tuesday nights. Our theme this year is Toy Story 2. Benjamin's quotation of the night was "This is the bestest pumpkin night ever." We all carved our own pumpkins. Can you tell who did which one?


Tonight, we are having dinner in a sugar pumpkin. I waited a bit too long and so it was a struggle to find a sugar pumpkin. Benjamin and I searched for two days at the pumpkin patches around our house. Good thing there are a lot. We ended up finding two because they were small. I told Benjamin that we were making stew in a pumpkin. His smile turned into a frown and his faced scrunched with displeasure. His reply "I don't like stew! I want sugar like sugar pumpkin!" We'll see how much stew he eats tonight!

We are so looking forward to a ward party at church tomorrow including a trunk-or-treat and then trick-or-treating in our neighborhood on Friday. We have definitely had a spooktacular October!

Why do I dread carving pumpkins so much? I really don't know why but I do...and tend to put it off until the very last thing. I am thinking Thurs evening around here.
