Pumpkins, Pumpkins Everywhere!!

This was the first year we decided not to go to Griffin Farms Pumpkin Patch. Sad! Though we all agreed that the kids had outgrown it. However, that led us with the dilemma of where to get our pumpkins!! The kids wanted to pick them out from a pumpkin patch, rather than a box at Lowes or Walmart. We happened upon a small "pumpkin patch" outside a local church on our way to dance, so Abby and I got some good ones! (Nate was at XC practice and said it was okay for us to choose for him).
Three days before Halloween, the carving began!
(My favorite part of carving night? The fact that Greg also makes nuts & bolts. YUM)

 Nate was *pretty* proud of his Fortnite pumpkin. (For those that don't know, Fortnite is the video game that is taking America by storm. It is ridiculous, but, Nate loves it.)
 Greg's pumpkin reveal is always a big deal in our house.....he keeps his design secret from both me and the kids. This year, it was Abby's turn to have Daddy carve something for her. The night before Halloween, his masterpiece was finally done......Billy the Turtle!!! Abby was speechless :)
 She was *so* excited about this pumpkin!!
 The 3 pumpkin carvers....
(And if you can't tell, Abby carved a turtle in her pumpkin too :)

 It's so fun looking back on all of Greg's masterpieces! Here is what he has made so far....
