growing up, i dont remember going to pumpkin patches. must be a so cal thing, we just got ours at the local grocery store. we did, however, carve a dozen of them every year, that i do remember. with our kids, we have been hit or miss on the pumpkin carving. this year though, i am going to make an effort. we worked on costumes today and went to our local pumpkin patch for a little afternoon outing (funny, i ran into a mom i saw this morning when i walked to a neighborhood corner to cheer on the marathoners running by... small world!)
our camp fire meeting tomorrow will be halloween themed, and even though this weather is wacky hot and humid, i am going to TRY to get into the halloween mode. this year is a big one, my birthday is on halloween (which i highly recommend if you are ever lucky enough to plan a baby's birth on this day) and i turn the big FOUR O! egad!
my kind of pumpkin
a side note: pa's pumpkin patch is on a small piece of wetlands... part of what we are trying to save for the birds. interesting?
Evie and I went there Friday - you should see the pic of her husband in the ghost cut-out!
