Pumpkin Picking and Carving

We went earlier this week to pick out our pumpkin to carve for Halloween tomorrow. This is the first year we have purchased a real pumpkin to carve. We tried to grow our own pumpkins earlier in the year, but we were not so successful. Every time we had a bud, Princess TD would think it was a flower and pick it for me. Oh well, maybe next year!

We picked the coldest day so far to go pick our pumpkin. We walked outside to check the temperature and it seemed fine, but when we got to the Farmer's Market, it was much colder than we thought it was.



This afternoon, we went out to carve our pumpkin. We had fun cleaning it out and then drawing the face.





In true Texas style, earlier in the week, we were freezing outside in long pants and long sleeves, and today we were in shorts and sleeveless shirts! You gotta love Texas!!

Can you tell they are both saying "cheese"? It's the only picture where they are both looking at the camera!
