We went to Grandma's Little Acres here in St. Peter for our pumpkin pickin'. They had tons of pumpkins to choose from this year. Lots of cool shaped ones too. And huge white ones! They were so pretty! It didn't take too long for the girls to pick out their own unique one. It was quite cool and windy! Natalie was on a mission to find a "baby" punkin, Emily a knobby one, Caitlin a huge one, and Rachel, a nice round one. They did pretty good! Caitlin found a huge one but since she couldn't carry it or pay the $8-10 for it she decided to let it lay and pick out a different one. Good choice!
Then on Sunday we carved them up. It's getting easier and easier each year. The kids aren't so grossed out by the pumpkin guts and they do a great job using the special knives. Natalie was super excited to carve her "baby". I kept asking her "Is your pumpkin's name baby Jack-O-Lantern?" and she'd reply "No...momma, baby punkin." As if I didn't know what I was talking about! Emily decided since she had a cool lumpy one, she'd marker it rather than carve it. I think it turned out pretty cool, except for it's boogers coming out of its nose! Rachel drew a picture of what she wanted her pumpkin to look like but wanted Brian to actually carve it. She liked gutting it though! Caitlin was on her own and did a fantastic job-without anyone's help!
