Carving Pumpkins!!

Well for the first year in our married lives we decided to carve pumpkins....and I now see why we don't ever do it! It's messy, it stinks, its hard when you don't have very sharp knives or one of those cool carving kits. We have friends that are like die hard professional pumpkin carvers (The Ulriches that are AMAZING) https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmrDsekYhn-9LO83oXvkR4soM6o1AV8yj1DpAXnLb4X4pTgbyOjLwW-XMI8RMFvPzySBNIODXR8wXk-KIzZ-TPIeOA1mJWiaSfH2RBqOnTnlAUJYYLh67w2GIrG7taxLeN4vSK1J2Ijxk/s1600-h/Halloween+2009.jpg that make it look so easy, so we thought well they carve 120 pumpkins every year what's the big deal about carving 2? Well it was a big deal...and I think next year we will just paint on them:)It started out ok, kinda messy and it was harder than I remember trying to get all that slimey crap out...Kooper thought it was kinda cool.Weston was trying to be all hardcore and do something cool....so its suppose to be a cat and this is how it turned outIt was just a big hole, ha ha the whole thing just fell out!So then he just decided to do 2 big eyes and whatever else that is. I opted to do a normal, easy jack-o-lantern....not so easy for me. As you can see one eye is bigger than the other and one of his teeth fell out. Man...we struggle!!:)We also made pumpkin cookies for desert, I think that was Kooper's favorite part!
To top the night off our cute little neighbors brought Kooper over a little Halloween bag, he was so excited.

Pumpkin Patch

Over the weekend we decided to go to a Pumpkin Patch to let Koop pick out some pumpkins. The pumpkin patch was so cute, they had a huge corn maze, hot chocolate, a pit full of corn the kids can play in, hay rides and tons of pumpkins.

I have no idea where Weston was, I was just going to take Kooper's picture but then this old guy insisted that he take one of both of us...
This is the one!
WAY too heavy!

Kooper wasn't to sure about the corn maze, he wanted to get our as quickly as possible.And totally off the subject of pumpkins... For some reason the last week or so Kooper will not stay in his bed at night, this is how we find him every night! What the heck?? Arent there supposed to be monsters under the bed?
