Pumpkins!

This year, we returned to the first pumpkin patch Oliver visited around his first Halloween (2011).
It is a Methodist Church downtown Austin and they have a field filled with pumpkins.  We were surprised to find very few pumpkins there this year.  We learned that they had unloaded truck after truck and just couldn't keep up with the demand.  Apparently, that particular pumpkin patch has gotten very popular in the last three years!
We took a family photo, and then the boys helped us load our pumpkins into a large, two-wheeled wheelbarrow, and Oliver pushed it to the check-out tent.  He felt very big (it was a BIG wheelbarrow!).

We couldn't wait to carve, so we started right after dinner.  Look at those perfectly round eyes!  Daddy used something special to obtain that perfection.  It can be found in one of the pictures below.
Oliver being silly:
 Digging out the seeds.
Aiden wanted nothing to do with the sliminess, but he was more than happy to say "cheese!"
 A family of jack-o-lanterns!
