Happy Monday!

We had a very nice weekend, hope you all did too!  Saturday, we went to the apple orchard, all excited to pick apples, unfortunately the picking was closed for the day as the ground was too wet.  So, we had a nice lunch in their store and bought a peck of already picked apples--apple crisp and apple pie here we come!

After lunch, we went to a pumpkin farm and had fun looking at the displays (we figured out what all were, except one-- there was one with a woman (pumpkin head and grey, long haired wig) in a long blue denim dress-- if you know what story/nursery rhyme/movie she could be, let me know!)

We did the corm maze, but didn't get lost-- found a few dead ends, though!  Then we picked out our pumpkins.

Back home, we decorated more outside, then did our pumpkin carving.

I picked a white pumpkin  this year- mostly because I liked its face.



I was going to do a Pumpkin Masters carving of a mummy, but didn't want to reduce the outline, so I free handed it.




When everyone was done, we placed them in the graveyard growing in our front yard for some pictures.  (The second is taken with a candle light option).















How are your Halloween preparations coming?

  1. Love your decorations! I've never noticed the white pumpkins before this year but they seem to be everywhere.

    BTW I left you an award on my blog. :)
