He would love to have one massive pumpkin but doesn't have the heart to do what it takes to accomplish that - kill all of the other ones off. So instead we end up with tons of fun pumpkins. This year the pumpkins were pretty funky since the only pumpkins we grew were volunteers.
We usually spend a night carving really cool pumpkins but that didn't happen this year with the baby and other things going on. We instead invited our neighbors over for a carving party. It was tons of fun. The only sadness came when some of the girls were kicking the stems off of the pumpkins for fun. Little did they know that Jon takes great care when picking the pumpkins to leave the stems long because he thinks they are so cool. Oh well.
Before the pumpkins could be carved I needed a picture of Emmaline with the pumpkin crop. I have wanted a picture like this since even before she was born. I always imagined the baby sitting in a wheelbarrow full of pumpkin. But since we had too many pumpkins and I didn't want to leave any of them out we changed our plans. Emmaline was a good sport for the most part - towards the end she was over the pumpkin picture.
I couldn't resist including this picture. Sad but funny.
