Pumpkins!!

The Berry pumpkin patch was bountiful again this year! Every year since Carter was just a baby, Grandma and Grandpa Berry and the kids have planted a pumpkin patch out at the farm. Each year it gets a little bigger with a few new varieties of pumpkins and gourds. I'm not sure who enjoys this more, the kids or grandma and grandpa. We don't get back as much as we would like to help out with the weeding, etc, but grandma and grandpa are always quick to give us updates on how the patch is coming along! Going to check on the patch is always the first thing the kids do when we do get back! I love that these city kids get a little lesson in farming too! 






If I could only pick this one up! 


Claire picked out this really cool green warted pumpkin!






 The last couple of years we have opted to paint our pumpkins. Mostly, for my sake, as this is the more kid friendly option, and I'm not stuck carving all the pumpkins by myself! The only downfall to this is no roasted pumpkin seeds!

Not really sure what Case's is suppose to be, but that's what happens when a 3 year old gets a hold  of paint and some random stickers! 
 Claire's Frozen pumpkin! She did this all by herself and it turned out great! 


 Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for hosting the best pumpkin patch around!

Those pumpkins turned out perfect! I love the painting idea - we need to switch to that soon!
