Happy Halloween!

We celebrated Halloween in style.  Check out our pumpkins.  Pitt and skeletor were David's creations while I kept it cute with Boo.  That was the first pumpkin I've ever carved myself -- last time I carved a pumpkin I was too small to safely wield a dangerous weapon like a knife... It had certainly been a while.  David had an awesome Halloween party Saturday night, everyone had a great time to say the least.  Then on Sunday he attempted to float the keg by giving trick or treat parents beer -- no takers though. 



My first big girl pumpkin!

Party people.. or at least those who 'dressed up'

How has Mt Lebo NOT fined him for this one?

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

It is that time of year -- Fall is upon us.  All my friends with little kids have been hitting up the pumpkin patches.  Although I have no child, we are like a little kids at heart so we decided to join the fun.  We went out to Simmons Farm where they actually grow the pumpkins.. as well as apples and squash and flowers and an assortment of other vegetables. We took the hayride out to the field and picked a few pumpkins and some Indian corn, followed by a trip into the corn maze.  The pumpkin picking was serious business -- definitely had to find 'the one'. On our way home we stopped by Giant Eagle and found an even more impressive pumpkin.  Eventually we'll carve them!  No promises on showing you the finished product.

Acres upon acres of pumpkins!

Yup, they actually grow them here!

Seriously, Acres of pumpkins

Nope, thats definitely not "the one".

But maybe this one is!

Or this one?

Here are a couple more options...

I'll take this one -- she's a keeper :)

Picking Indian Corn

They had some amazing jack o'lanterns up at the farmstand.  mine will look nowhere near this fancy, for sure.
