Did someone say pumpkins?

It is that time of year. The time I most love above all other seasons.....fall. I love the feeling I get when I feel that first cool breeze indicating fall is just around the corner. I love fall scents, fall colors, bonfires (to roast marshmallows of course), hot chocolate, sweaters, colorful trees, mums, and even football season. And who could forget..... PUMPKINS? Fall would not be complete without pumpkins.

Landry and I went with our M.O.P.S. group on Monday to the local pumpkin patch. We got to ride a hayride and each child picked out his or her own mini-pumpkin. Landry thought the hayride was a train and she kept saying "choo choo".

This is us on the hayride, my camera had the big zoom on it so the pic is tight.

This is Landry, Reece and Daniel getting ready to pick out their pumpkins

She enjoyed looking at all the pumpkins, but wanted to put them all back. I ended up picking out a cute little pumpkin for her.

When it came to picking out a pumpkin for our family to carve, I cheated and went to wal-mart. They were much cheaper and just as pretty.

We let Landry dig in the pumpkin.

But she was not too sure about the squishy pumpkin "guts".

We put Cory in charge of carving the pumpkin and he did a great job. He is proud of his masterpiece.

Landry's favorite part was picking up the pumpkin lid to see the lights inside
