Autumn doings

After church yesterday, we headed to a pumpkin farm. It was the perfect low-key venue for us. Things to do, no entrance fee, and plenty of pumpkins.

Of course, I now have a serious case of barn-envy.

Of course, if you have the pumpkins, you have to carve them.

R.'s pumpkin proved to be made out of steel. J. had to use a hacksaw to get the top off, followed by a drill to carve it. He mentions that drilling into a pumpkin is fairly messy business.

Y.

D. decided he really wanted to carve a pumpkin, but wanted to do it inside.

That's how he created this.

Every is very excited about the candy  holiday tomorrow. So much so, that one wants to wear one's costume all the time... even when doing school work. Which proves to be difficult when you have decided to go as a box troll.
