We didn’t buy our BIG pumpkins at the patch, and evidently waiting until the 23rd of October to buy them is way too late! I eventually found them at the 4th store I went to! Sadly I was by myself so the boys didn’t get to pick theirs out, but after dragging them to three other stores and dealing with their disappointment, I just couldn’t do it again. BUT, I found them in a fit of insomnia at a 5:30am grocery shopping trip, so when I got home, I lined them all up on the front porch and when they woke up told them there was a surprise for them on the front porch! They were SO excited! I also got THE BIGGEST pumpkins EVER which they thought was SO COOL! (Yes, I’m silently high fiving myself!)
When we were done this year I commented to Todd that I thought this was way smoother than it was last year….and then as I was typing this I pulled up last years post and had to laugh at myself that the first thing I typed was “Pumpkin carving with small children is maddening.” hahahahahaha
This year was much smoother! Finn was completely 100% in to it! Riley mostly was but when it came down to scooping out the goo he was not a fan.
Our little and big pumpkins!
The Aftermath!
Drumming on their pumpkins!
I love how you can just barely see Kellen peeking in to his pumpkin!
And then we went on a moonlit walk through the cemetery!
It was an awesome night!
