Pumpkins!!!

A few Sundays ago we took a trip out to White House Farms to pick out pumpkins!

I think the sun was in her eyes ;)

K picked a pumpkin for Logan.

Logan says - What Is That?!

Then the next Sunday we went to our friends' the McCreadie's house for their annual BYOP party (Bring Your Own Pumpkin).  It is an afternoon of carving, fun and food of course! This year Mandie and Justin provided an awesome soup bar.  

This year both girls drew faces on their pumpkins all on their own...then Daddy started carving. 

He thought the stem was cool.

K's finished pumpkin (I love her eyelashes!)

Hailey's finished pumpkin.  Mandie provided paints too - so her pumpkin became colorful!

Our fall front porch.

 

For the past couple of years I have mostly watched as everyone at the BYOP threw away their seeds...this year I gathered them all up! Got about 3.5 Quarts of seeds (About 8 batches roasted). 

Seeds done! Season Salt, Jalapeño Salt and Garlic Salt.

Another pumpkin project this year was for Kaelin's school competition. She wanted to turn it into a scarecrow. So we dug out Logan's old clothes, I hot glued straw to garbage bags (that we used for his neck, hands and feet) and his head. Kaelin decorated his face! I was so proud of her. She did a great job and was very creative I thought!
