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....

Not Bad!

Looks like so much fun, and I love all of the pumpkins. We told Zadi that this would be her last year of trick or treating too, and she did not take the news well.
The pumpkins are all so creative! Good job guys!
FABULOUS!!! My grandchildren are geniuses at the art of making Jack-o-Lanterns. They must get their art ability from the Crosby line.
I'm jealous of Tucker's coat, even though it probably looks better on him than it would on me! That looks like so much fun! I've been meaning to call you guys for the longest time, but every time I think to, you're probably in school. I"ll get around to it soon. Miss you all so much!
Loved all the cute Jack-o-Lanterns! Would love to have been with you at the table watching all the fun!
Tucker's coat choked me up. I just wanted to put my arms around him and hold him close forever. Coat or not, that's what I'd like to do with all my grandchildren.
Wow Ilah a way to be stylish!
Jenn,
I loved the pictures! I love my nieces and nephews too - it would've been awesome to listen and watch and be with you guys as they carved and talked and joked. I would've helped with the dishes too because I'm not a fan of carving either.
I wish we could be with you guys for Thanksgiving - I sure do miss you all.
Love,
A
