It's Pumpkin Time!

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this time of year!  We kick-started this year's festivities with a Halloween Candy Hunt and BBQ at the ranch with our playgroup friends.  It was tons of fun!

We went to Sweet Berry Farms in Marble Falls in search of the Perfect Pumpkins!  We've been there a few times and it always fulfills all of our Pumpkin Patch wishes!  Now, for the Perfect Pumpkin Patch Picture...

Neat little tractor!  It was hard getting Hudson off of that thing!

I can't remember ever getting so hot at a pumpkin patch that we had to stop for ice cream on the way home.  But this year, that's just what we did!

Garrison may or may not have had a bite or two...

We love carving pumpkins!  We haven't missed a year since Kenedy was born!  I'd love to post all of our past Jack-O-Lanterns, but frankly, I'm just not that organized... YET!

Yes, Hudson is jumping on the table.  He doesn't quite understand the concept yet.

Carving into the wee hours of the night!

It just looks like I was cheating and getting ideas from the Internet.  I wasn't.

And the silly kids that made it all possible!

Mis-matching your jammies must be the new cool thing to do!

Hudson was too intrigued with the candles to look at the camera.  As soon as he saw the pumpkins glowing, he started singing Happy Birthday.

Uh oh, he spotted the paci.

Sorry, Mom.
