Pumpkin Picking Time!

Saturday, we went to Tuttle Orchards to pick out our pumpkins. I checked out the weather in the morning and it was supposed to be 58. By the time we got there, though, it was 48. It had rained the day prior and the paths were muddy. We made valient efforts and trudged through the muck to find the perfect pumpkins, to no avail. All the pumpkins were too big to carry and too muddy to pick. We went back to the farm store and picked out pumpkins from the already picked bunch. Jacob's was traditional, Ella's was a turban squash, Kris and I picked a warty green one, and H&J got baby pumpkins.

 

Once home, we decorated the pumpkins with markers. We're waiting to cut in case of a warm weather streak, but I figured sharpie looks just as good. Ella was disappointed with how her pumpkin turned out so she and I made a trip to the craft store to get some paint and glitter. We spent all of Sunday painting pale blue over the marker so that we could make Cinderella's coach. Once we get some "wheels" I'll post a picture.
