A few weeks ago, Bryce and I took the boys out to a small pumpkin patch in Hooper to pick some pumpkins. It was only $5 for an arm full. Last year, I took the boys and I couldn't carry very many. This year, Bryce was able to fit 6 pumpkins in his arms. Of course, I wanted to snap some pictures, but Bryce's arms were getting tired!
We let the boys each pick two pumpkins out! It was just a little patch, but they found the ones they wanted and we were in and out of there in less than 15 minutes. We took them home and let the boys color on them and Clatyon decorated his with stickers. We still haven't carved them yet.
Sara, Derek, and the kids came over one night to make "Owl" o Ween cookies. The adults enjoyed snacking on the dough while the kids strategically placed their peanuts and chocolated chips on the cookies. Eli kept taking the dough off the pan and eating it! He was more interested in the trains than the food.
It's kind of fun to think that Marilyn did this for her kids all those years ago, and now the kids are doing it for their kids. It is a tradition that the children and adults enjoy....especially when the cookies are warm right out of the oven!
