Pumpkins pumpkins & more pumpkins!

     We enjoyed another busy October weekend. Conner had a game Saturday and Sunday. We have only 1 more game this coming Friday, then a break until Spring.



     Saturday we went to the farm and went on a hayride to the pumpkin patch were we picked our pumpkins to carve. The only rule “If you can’t carry it then you can’t have it”. The kids had a wonderful time.




     Then we spent the evening carving our pumpkins…mostly Mommy & Daddy but the kids did a good job too! Conner choose an owl stencil and Anjali choose Cinderella. My husband did a wonderful job picking out all of the pumpkin seeds from the goopy mess for roasting.



     To keep with the theme of pumpkins this weekend we ended the weekend with a yummy pumpkin pie. Already looking forward to next weekend!
