Libby was so excited Saturday when I told her we were going pumpkin shopping! Of course she also thought it would be time to trick or treat! After we looked at the calendar and counted the days until Halloween, she was able to once again get excited about getting her pumpkin, and not trick or treating for 13 more days! In the past I have taken Libby to fancy pumpkin patches and spent $40 or more on pumpkins. This year I decided to skip the pumpkin patch and go to a local produce stand down the road. Libby wanted to get four pumpkins...one each for mommy, daddy, Libby, and of course Ginger. Now given my history with expensive pumpkins, I told her pumpkins were very expensive and she could get one big pumpkin and 3 little pumpkins. I had $50 cash in my pocket, ready to shop! We found a BIG pumpkin, and three little baby pumpkins that fit in the palm of my hand! We went to the cashier, I held my breath as I waited for the grand total...The lady said, "That will be $2.50." Huh? The big pumpkin was $1.00! I was so excited I almost went and picked out 3 more big pumpkins for my baby! But I didn't really want to carve them all, so we just said, "Thank you" and left! WooHoo! I'm sorry fancy pumpkin patch in the city...I don't think you will be seeing us again!
Here is Libby with her $1.00 pumpkin and a giant spoon getting ready to clean out the pumpkin. She did think it looked a little gross inside!
She's going for it....
Eeew! Pumpkin guts! She was loving every minute of it!
Here is the finished product!Notice the three little pumpkins!
We just decorated those with a sharpie marker!
Ooooo...scary!Well, not so much!
You can't tell, but the candle is actually lit in this picture.Libby wanted me to get a picture with her sitting behind the pumpkins.
Ok!
