Halloween Pumpkins

This past Sunday Craig and I decided to get into the fall spirit. We went out to Boyd's Orchard to pick out our Halloween pumpkins and enjoy the beautiful fall weather. Of course because it was so pretty outside the orchard was really crowded. So we went out there and had lunch and looked around a little while. The kids at the orchard were running around like crazy, throwing fits and I was afraid Craig was going to regret this whole procreating thing. HA HA. :)

So we came back into town and went to King's Nursery where the pumpkins were cheaper and the children were tame. We had 3 pumpkins to get this year. :) After we picked out our pumpkins we took them over to Craig's parents house to carve/paint them and visit with his sister, Sarah, who was in town for the weekend. We had a great visit with the whole family. And we finally told Craig's parents that we were having a little girl. They were hesitant about knowing because they wanted to be surprised. But I think they were happy to know.

I have included a picture of our family pumpkins this year. I have never painted my pumpkin before and I did this year and it was a lot of fun. :) Craig's mom has some really creative ideas for pumpkin carving/decorating. Mine is the one with the house and Craig's is the one with the face. Craig didn't use a stencil, he did his free hand. I was very impressed. ENJOY!

And Happy Halloween. Craig and I are going to a Halloween party this weekend and I'll post pictures after the weekend.
