Yes, we went to the pumpkin patch again!! While once had been enough for me, Faith reminded me daily that we needed to go once again so that she could get a big pumpkin to decorate. Since we had some time this afternoon and have a busy upcoming week, today was the day to visit the patch once again! What made this trip memorable was the temperature...it was close to 90 degrees!! Typically, when I think of picking pumpkins, things like hot chocolate, coats, maybe even gloves are some essential items that coincide with the experience. Today, we needed ice cream or a swimming pool after sweating our way through the rows and rows of pumpkins! I guess that's Southern California for us!! Regardless of the heat, the kids had a blast, and I survived!

The giant pumpkins...and staying true to himself, Shane is trying to eat a rock covered with mud...
Back home playing in the yard
Last year we decorated with pumpkins with stickers. It was easy, and Faith could do it completely on her own! This year, we stepped it up a bit and bought the Mr.
Potato Head pumpkin decorations. Faith picked out a princess set to dress her pumpkin, which she named Cinderella! She loved playing with all the pieces and putting them in crazy spots once the initial holes were put in the pumpkin. At least an hour of entertainment for her!
And here is the finished product! Maybe next year we'll actually carve them...
