We have been enjoying some cooler temperatures here and had a beautiful Saturday last weekend to take in our local "pumpkin patch". We had originally planned on taking the kids up to Dothan, AL where they actually have a pumpkin patch, but the kids wanted to go to the one here so we saved our self the 2 hour drive and still got a pumpkin :-)
When we got there the pumpkins that were large enough to carve were running around $20 a piece so we opted to look around take some photos and then drive to the grocery store where we paid $5 a piece for the pumpkins. We put them on our porch and plan on carving them next Saturday and roasting the seeds! Once carved they will last approximately 24 hours in the FL sun and have to be thrown out.
Maddie and I have been enjoying cooking up some fall treats so when we got home we made a batch of homemade caramel corn while the boys watch college football. Maddie can read recipes now and knows how to measure most things. She is pretty handy to have around the kitchen. She has roasted pumpkin seeds and caramel apples on the menu for next Saturday!
Sam is very interested in the carving of the pumpkin and wants to enter it into our church's fall festival pumpkin carving contest. I'll keep you posted on that event!
Megan loved her little pumpkin and is continually grabbing it and carrying it around...it's too small to carve and looks a little rough from being dropped, but I'm sure it feels loved!
