Pumpkins Are So Much Fun

The boys had a blast with pumpkins this year!  Everywhere we went Lucas would point out any pumpkins he saw.  This year we got our pumpkins from a little farmers market close by.  The owner gave Lucas a little pumpkin for free and he never wanted to let go of it. Andrew was super excited to carve them.  We finally got to carving them the night before Halloween! Andrew, Lucas, and Eli had a blast playing with the pumpkins and cleaning them out.  Andrew and Lucas worked really hard with Daddy to get them all cleaned out.  Andrew picked a Lego guy for his pumpkin.  I loved watching the boys!

We also went to a pumpkin drop for the first time.  A local radio station does this every year and this year it was in Plainfield.  Andrew happened to be off school, so we decided to check it out.  I am so glad we did!!!  We had a blast!  We went with a few friends and the boys haven't stopped talking about it.  They lifted a huge pumpkin up with a crane and let it fall to the ground.  After the pumpkin dropped then all of the kids got to run out and take pieces of it.  Andrew grabbed a few seeds so we could plant the giant seeds and grow giant pumpkins of our own!!  Haha!!  Lucas, of course, loved telling everyone about the "punkin drop" the next few days.
