Pumpkin Patch & Carving 2009

The long awaited trip to the pumpkin patch finally arrived last week. Katelyn has been talking about getting a pumpkins since the beginning of October when I put out the Halloween decorations. She was so happy to finally get there and kept running around looking for her perfect "baby pumpkin" as she called it.

After Gavin and Katelyn found just the right one, we headed home to gut and carve them. It was so cute to watch Katelyn with the pumpkins. She was amazed that we had to carve the top off and get the seeds and guts out. And she dug right in along side of Gavin!

Gavin picked out a Batman design to be carved into his pumpkin and Katelyn chose Dora.

Pumpkin Patch

We finally went to the pumpkin patch last night to get our pumpkins. I had trouble the last couple years with pumpkins rotting too soon, so now I wait til the last minute to go.

Gavin has always loved going to get pumpkins so he was so excited to get there. I think he was even more excited to show Katelyn around. He wanted to show her where the little pumpkins where, where the big pumpkins where, and where the scarecrow was. But Katelyn was not having any of that. She took off in the opposite direction of wherever he wanted her to go. Miss Independent wanted to see things for herself. She picked up the pumpkins, she dropped the pumpkins, and she sat on pumpkins. She had the greatest time!

Gavin had a hard time choosing which one to take home. "This one dad? How about this one? Is this one too small?" We finally settled on one medium size one for Gavin and a baby one for Katelyn.

Happy Carving!
