Happy Halloween/Fall!! I love this time of year. The beautiful trees, the crisp air, the winter clothes (so much cuter than my summer clothes), etc. Our garden is finally slowing down, so the other weekend we went out to clean up and pick the last produce before the freezes start, and what did we find? Holy cow!! We had our own pumpkin patch. I turned and asked Jason just how many he planted and he said not that much. Yeah Right. We came home with 20 sugar pumpkins and that was after giving about 30 away and there are still a bunch out there that are still ripening. I'm going to have to start door bell ditching. They do make really good pumpkin bread, pie, bars, etc. REALLY GOOD STUFF.
Awhile ago Jason decided to stop picking the squash without telling me so the next time I went I was faced with giant zuchinni. I picked most and left two to see how big they could get by Halloween so I could paint them. I thought that was pretty creative until we went the to Pumpkin Walk in Logan and saw zuchinni as skunks or penquins. Oh well, I tried. They are cute though.
Every year in Logan there is the Pumpkin walk. Groups of people make scenes out of pumpkins, squash, and other things. It was really fun. The following are some of my favorites. I wanted to post more pictures, but this post would have been crazy long instead of just long.
Jefferson is currently obsessed with Harry Potter. I know he is only two, but man he is crazy about monsters, snakes, spiders, trains (Hogwarts Express), flying, etc. So it all fits. He even started throwing his golf balls in the air and then yelling "seeker" and trying to find the golden snitch. It was so funny until he tried to do it during sacrament. Any way, when he saw this he ran straight toward it yelling, "Potter, Potter". He is so cute!
Another fav is Woody! More his size.
Some really amazing work were Popeye and gang. If you zoom in you can tell they are pumpkin heads and other assorments of things. So awesome!!
We also have A Bug's Life
The Madagascar Monkeys were so great. These people are so totally creative.
Madagascar Giraffe. Awesome zuchinni and pumpkins.
