Pumpkin Fun


Friday was our family pumpkin day! Every year we get together with my family, have dinner, and carve pumpkins. While the adults to most of the work and the kids run around screaming, its still always a lot of fun. I started by taking my kiddos to the Maybe Family farm and pumpkin patch. Its a cute little farm and they sell their HUGE pumpkins for what everyone else charges for small ones. They had fun climbing on the hay bales, walking through the rows and rows up pumpkins, looking at the old tractor, and of course picking out the best pumpkins to bring home.



That night we went to Grandmas with everyone else to carve. I don't let my kids actually carve their pumpkins. Since Josh would most likely stab me and Zach can't really control a knife we use the Fright Lights. Its kinda like LiteBrites. They hammer in the pegs and you put an LED light in the pumpkin and they light up just like regular ones. Both boys had a blast hammering their pegs and Zach didn't want to give up the hammer when he was done.
