We have a great little pumpkin patch here in Tooele called Pankratz's Pumpkin Patch. It is always lots of fun to go and pick out our pumpkins, but this year was a little different. We grew 3 pumpkins in our "garden" in the backyard, but Jaycee got to go to the patch with her preschool and pick one out. So she picked out this gigantic pumpkin!!! I tried to get a smaller one, but she wouldn't have it. Then, we carved pumpkins. It was a nightmare, because my kids pick out complex patterns, and then mom or dad gets to carve it. They didn't want to gut them at first, finally Gavin wanted to scrap out the inside after all the guts were gone. We stayed up until 11:00 p.m. Thursday night carving!!! It was not fun last night when they were dead tired and we still hadn't done any trick or treating. Oh, the joys of the holidays!

Your pumpkins look amazing! We usually try to do something like that but this year I told the kids it was up to them. It was nice to just sit back and watch.
