The first weekend of this month, we took the boys out to get pumpkins. In an effort to support our local-city farmers, we followed the nearby signs to a pumpkin patch in our own city. The result was disappointing...not even worth getting out of the car. On our way there, we had passed a home selling pumpkins in their front yard. So, we stopped there as we drove back toward home. The home had an "Honesty Box" attached to their tree, with prices of the pumpkins & gourds listed. We let the boys walk around, and pick out a small pumpkin each.

After all this effort, we still just headed to our usual "pumpkin patch" (
2011 and
2010) - really, just a local farmer's stand.

Just before leaving, Patrick showed the boys the long blades of grass, and how to hold it in their mouth. All three thought it was great fun!

Once home, we placed the pumpkins on our front stairs...now...we just have to find the time to decorate them!
