Pumpkins Anyone?






Last night for Family Home Evening we purchased a bale of hay and then we harvested our pumpkins and decorated our front porch with them. The kids had so much fun helping and they couldn't believe how many pumpkins we had. We couldn't believe how many little ones we got. We counted them and we had 113. We usually get more of the bigger pumpkins, but that is okay because our biggest pumpkin beat last years record by 30 pounds. We weighed it and it came in at 85 pounds. We were so proud of ourselves and we thought that was pretty good for a home grown pumpkin. We were wondering what to do with all the little pumpkins and we just ended up placing them all over our porch and decided that when little kids come to visit us, they can take a pumpkin. Cooper heard us discussing this last night, so when my nephew came over today, the first thing Cooper said when he opened the door was, "You can take a pumpkin if you want." Cooper and Kendall are so excited about them and I think it is so cute that kids get so excited over the little things. When Kendall woke up this morning and saw the empty space in the garden, she got a shocked look on her face and said, "Where'd the punkins go?" I looked at her and she smiled a devilish smile and pointed to the front door. It was so cute.
