With football/debate season, family time is rare and therefore even more precious than usual. Last Friday was parent teacher conference day which meant that the kids had the day off of school, and Mike and I only had a half day. No football practice for either Mike or Tucker - No half time band show since it was an away game - AND the debate tournament wasn't until Saturday. Soooo even though Mike and I are fighting colds, we decided to head to the pumpkin patch in Carl Junction. It wasn't quite Roloff Farms, but we enjoyed ourselves anyway. I even some mums... my first ever :)
(Tucker is wearing Grandpa Hinckley's overcoat that Grandpa passed on to Mike.)
Sunday after Stake Conference the kids decided it was time to carve the pumpkins - any of you who know me well, know that I don't enjoy carving pumpkins... So I volunteered to do Taysom's dishes and watched as the carving commenced. I had such a good time listening to the four of them. Sometimes they can be such good friends.... I LOVE IT! Here are some pictures of the finished products..
Ilah's happy pumpkin:
Taysom's creation, the Space Invader by Henry - and below is Tucker's pumpkin flower....
Ilah is trying to look like her pumpkin (above).
Not Bad!
