Pumpkin Pickin' and Carvin'

The Saturday before Halloween we went to the same pumpkin patch that we went to last year with some friends.
Jacob picked his own pumpkin off the vine



After we picked our pumpkins we let Jacob run around the hay maze and check out the farm animals.

He was a little too scared to pet the horse.
And he screamed when he saw the turkey walking slowly towards him- it was pretty creepy actually.
But he did finally pet the goats, even though you can't tell on my picture
He liked seeing all the animals and wanted to go back and do it again.


We had a good time at the pumpkin patch!

After the snow we had, our pumpkins froze outside, so once they thawed enough we started our carving. We decided to make them into Angry Bird pumpkins since Jacob likes them so much, and Blake's pumpkin was a little green pig.
And since Jacob wanted to help I let him paint the pumpkins first. And he did a great job helping, but I don't think we'll do paint again. I didn't really have good paint, or quite the right colors. Like Jacob's was the red bird but it turned out more pink. But that's fine, Jacob had fun helping.
Jacob really got into it, scooping out the seeds, and pulling the rest out with his hands..
I love his face here because you can tell it's really gooey but he insisted on doing it all by himself. Oh and ever since we picked out his Buzz Lightyear costume he's practically worn it nonstop haha.

And these are how our two angry birds turned out! Jacob loves them!
