Fall Fun

On Saturday we took a trip to the local farm to get our pumpkins. The boys were hoping to have a tractor ride like we had done in the past and pick a pumpkin in the field. The best pumpkins are not left in the field however...they are in big piles conveniently located by the cashier :) We got some big ones. 48 lbs worth. I'm glad it was pounds, I thought it was the price...yikes.

We also picked some apples while we were there. We have never done it before. The boys loved getting to climb the trees. You literally had to to get the apples that were left. You wouldn't believe the waste though. There are soooooo many apples on the ground. It's like you pick one off and a couple fall at the same time. And did I mention $10 for a peck. One dollar a pound during the week, but not on the weekend. I made sure that sucker was chocked full plus one in each hand on the way out! I also bought some zucchini and made some yummy bread. I haven't had it in so long. I asked Jim what he thought and he said, "Well it's ok, but why zucchini?" He just can't get passed vegetables. Does anyone have a recipe for meat bread?

The boys each picked their own faces for the pumpkins. I showed Jacob a bunch of pictures online from a pumpkin fest and he picked the features that he wanted. Joshua drew his on a piece of paper. I think they did a great job. Here is a cute video of the evening. Look carefully at Jacob's face. He wasn't really having it. He didn't like the slime and then his eczema really started to burn :(

Oh, and in the midst of pumpkin decorating I dropped my camera and now the display doesn't work. That is the whole point of digital for me, seeing the picture right away to see if you got the shot. So needless to say, the pictures at the end are a bit sketchy and I need a new camera.

On Sunday we went to the grass drags. I'll post that tomorrow.
