If any of you have been to my home, you know I don't do much in terms of seasonal decorations. Except maybe Christmas. Sure, I change a few things here and there, but for the most part the house looks the same all year round. And, if I do anything different, it's usually very simple. Enter pumpkins for Fall decor.
Mom, the kids, and I took a trip to the pumpkin patch last week. It was supposed to happen the week before, but the weather turned yucky, so we rescheduled. This is the best pumpkin patch ever. Here, you load up in a wagon and head to the fields with your pair of pruners and rows upon rows of pumpkins on the vine.
The boys all hopped in the wagon (you can barely see the top of John Paul's head...
...and Elley got quite the workout.
Soon enough, the boys were out of the wagon and in search of the perfect pumpkin(s).
It was so fun to see how far they've come in a year and how they enjoyed actually cutting the pumpkins off the vine all by themselves (Carter and Peter anyway).
John Paul was content pulling the wagon.
And, Sophie held tight to me (for a few minutes).
Elley made sure John Paul collected quite a few itty bitty ones.
We had to make several trips to the car to unload.
They even had a stack of hay bales, decorated with pumpkins for photo ops.
I'm guessing some people get better pictures out of it, ha!
You see all kinds.
When we got home and unloaded all of our findings, I took a few inside for the dining room table.
Plus, I have a couple of iron pumpkins next to the hearth.
They rest are outside, sitting peacefully on the bench...
...or old church pew.
They last there for a few minutes before they are used in a game of dodge ball, bowling, or soccer. And you wonder why I don't invest more in pretty decor?!
