This year we went to Soergels for our pumpkin picking. I kept waiting for a weekend we were free and it wasn't crazy warm out, but that wasn't happening. It was a beautiful day, even if it was pretty warm for picking out pumpkins!
We ended up with 4 pumpkins (3 cheap ones from Walmart!) total to carve. So we scooped all the guts out and Lyla picked out a picture for each of us to carve. We were saving the big pumpkin patch ($15 one) for us all to do together.
Well.... Gary did his assigned unicorn picture and Lyla started on her troll. I had a feeling things weren't going to go super smooth so I just held up on mine. Well as I predicted Lyla got frustrated and decided the troll was too hard and handed it off to Gary to finish. So then she started on my cat..... And not too far in decided she didn't want to do that either. So I picked up where she left off and I was quickly becoming bored with the whole thing. I am not a fan of doing the pictures. I agree they look awesome at the end... but I have about a 5 to 10 minute window with carving pumpkins before I'm totally over it! So anyways, Gary ended up finishing the cat too! LOL Oh and that big, perfect pumpkin that we took all the guts out of to carve together.... yeah.... Lyla painted it! hahahaha But she was happy and that is all that matters!
For Halloween this year Lyla as a "Walking Taco"! I made her costume, which I am super proud of! She received tons of compliments on it!
