Parker is in preschool this year, and one of his favorite things is the trip to the pumpkin patch. A tractor pulls a wagon full of hay bales around the field, and you get to pick your pumpkin. Then you get to go back to a gathering area where they serve juice and cookies. He talked about this trip for weeks, and could barely stand to wait. He was so excited that Dad even took some time off to come and visit the pumpkin patch with him.
I love his little face in this picture! He was so excited that he couldn't wait to carve his pumpkin. Even though Halloween was 2 weeks away, he had to carve it the next day, and keep it in his room. I tried to talk him out of it, but he was adamant. A few days later he asked me, "What is that hairy stuff in my pumpkin?" I thought he was talking about the pumpkin guts and told him it was part of the pumpkin. The next morning I got woken up with him bursting into the room, and saying in a worried voice, "My pumpkin is leaking juice!" Yep, the "hair" inside was actually mold, and the thing was decomposing at a fast rate. So sadly he went into the garden area as fertilizer, and we had to get another pumpkin for carving time with the family.
