Carving Time...

Since Jeremy will not be back home until Halloween we decided to go ahead and carve our pumpkin. Maybe it won't be completed rotted by Halloween night!

But anyway, about 1 mile from our home is this pumpkin patch that has really big pumpkins. So of course Gavin picked the biggest and frumpiest pumpkin ever (we didn't get it) but we did get one that was perfect, it sat up straight and most important Jeremy could pick it up!

When we got home we got set up to carve our pumpkin. We got our little scoop out and started scooping, there was a lot of "pumpkin yuck" as Gavin called it. He was get a hand full and say this is disgusting, who would have thought my little boy would have said that, I thought we was going to love it. That gooey mess between his fingers!

We had no plan or stencil for carving our pumpkin, I just drew him a face and off Jeremy and Gavin went to carving. YES, I let my child use that little carving knife, NO, I will not be getting mother of the year AGAIN this year!

But we made a really cute pumpkin!

Pumpkin Patch

Since we have moved I had to find a new pumpkin patch to go to that was not to far away.

I have heard so many good things about Hill Ridge but it's 2 hours away and Mike's farm but it's more for eating rather than Gavin having fun.

I found this website Pumpkin Patches and More that has every county in North Carolina listed and their pumpkin patches, its really a great website.

Well I found this pumpkin patch in Clinton called Hubb's Pumpkin Patch, which is only 20mins from our house. The pictures made it look fun for Gavin! It was an OK place to go, but it might had been better if it was not 80 degrees outside, not very fall like!

We went with some friends of ours Cori, Patrick and Miss Emory. Patrick makes Gavin call him Uncle Patrick so when they get older Gavin will not want to date Emory because he will think they are cousins, too funny! Speaking of cousins Logan, Gavin's real cousin went with us also to join in in all the fun!
