Pumpkin patch

20111023-022420.jpgWe went to Jubilee Farm on Saturday to visit the pumpkin patch. We walked around in the muddy field and found our favorite ones, then snapped them off of the vine ourselves! This picture of Jack and I turned out so well...he was a big pumpkin helper!

I decided to carve a polka dot pumpkin this year so that we can keep it around for as long as it lasts, rather than having to toss a traditional Jack-o-lantern after Halloween. We put candles inside and looks really pretty all aglow.
