Lydia and Emry have been interested in carving pumpkins. We've watched a few pumpkin carving shows, and it's fall, so this makes a lot of sense. So I was thinking of trying to buy some pumpkins after Halloween if they were cheap, just to let them play. My friend gave me a call on Halloween afternoon. Near her house is a farm stand, which has a sizeable pumpkin display in the parking lot. On Halloween, all of these pumpkins were free!
So Emry, Gyunay, and I headed to the pumpkins, in the rain. The boys filled the back of the van with pumpkins while I paid for some apples.
Emry carried those huge ones to the car himself!
They had the time of their lives, picking out all the cool pumpkins, mini pumpkins, gourds, etc. I also snagged 5 pie pumpkins, 3 cushaws, and 2 Cinderella pumpkins for eating. I don't have pictures of those. And there are more on our porch, too. So many pumpkins! It was so fun. All three of us were soaked and chilled, but it was well worth it.
Also, I never posted Halloween pictures. Lydia put together her costume, Draculara from Monster High:
And I never got a picture of the boys. They were all so busy running around! We did go for a walk on the trail behind my in-laws' house to see a row of skeletons, so I took these as we walked:
Gyunay was Knuckles, a character from Sonic. Emry was obviously Spiderman. My mother-in-law was a hippie. It was wet and chilly, but the boys had a blast. Lydia didn't trick-or-treat, but she hung out at the house with me. Nathaniel and his parents took turns giving out the candy.
