Our "hay ride" over to the pumpkin patch was not really on hay, but the ride back we did get to sit on hay bales. We sang as many Halloween songs we could think of--2 whole songs! Once we got to the pumpkin patch the boys started out playing in the maze. Rylan had been there the week prior on a field trip with his preschool class but was still excited to play around again. He raced through the maze with the rest of us following to each dead end and turn around.
"How do we get out of here??!!"
The boys ran around for a bit, played on the tractor, and then we realized it was dark and gonna be hard to choose our pumpkins! Off to the patch we went. We weren't the only ones using the lights from our cell phone to pick our pumpkin. That added to some of the fun!
So last night we had our annual family Halloween/pumpkin carving party at the Holman's. We had a yummy dinner and then got busy carving pumpkins. Kevin carves ours every year while I'm busy with other stuff. This year I brought dessert so I got the cupcake decorating stuff out for the kids.
Rylan drew his own jack o lantern face on his pumpkin. Kevin carved it just how Ry drew it and it turned out so cute!
Kevin also carved his own pumpkin--spooooky!
Kevin's jack-o-lantern is on the top step. And there's Rylan's jack-o-lantern, right there by Abbi.
Garren had made some Rootbeer and Asher asked several times to drink some. So I poured a bit in a cup and gave him a sip. His eyes watered up, he backed away, pointed at the rootbeer and said "yuck yuck". Then he walked towards me with his mouth wide open ready for some more! We tried to get it on camera but only got a few chances because after a couple more sips he was done and opted for water. Good boy :)
"Yuck Yuck!"
