Today we took the kids to the local pumpkin patch. We rode the hay ride and ran through the corn maze. We all got our faces painted too. The girls got cute little black cats painted on their cheeks. My hubby’s face was turned into a skeleton. The girls thought he looked really spooky. I got a friendly jack-o-lantern painted on my cheek.
It was a blast roving through all of the pumpkins trying to find the perfect one. There were pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. They had some award winning pumpkins that were bigger than the kids. I can’t imagine how long it would take to carve some of those giant pumpkins, let alone clean out all of the pumpkin guts and seeds.
After a while of wandering around and inspecting pumpkins we finally found the perfect ones. We brought them home and plan to carve them out soon. We don’t want to do it too early for fear of them going bad. There is nothing worse than rotten pumpkins sitting in your living room and on your front porch.
