New Pumpkins

Now that Brooks is 2, he is excited about pumpkins and the Halloween decorations this year. He wanted his own pumpkin so badly so we took him to pick out a pumpkin for he and Colt. He could have picked any pumpkin he wanted but he went straight to the little pumpkins that he was able to pick up and he put his in his own little shopping cart.


Once we got home, we let the boys sit on the front porch and play with their new pumpkins.



A few days after the boys got their pumpkins, we took them to a little pumpkin patch here in Coppell. Brooks went to a BIG patch last year and had a ball. This was Colt's first time and he had so much fun. Colt spent most of his time crawling through the pumpkins and playing with them. Brooks spent his time pulling a wagon through the patch and playing on the church playground.



We thought it would be fun to show Brooks how to carve a pumpkin. He likes to get dirty so we assumed he would enjoy sticking his hands in and pulling out all the insides. Much to our surprise, he really didn't care much about it and all Colt wanted to do was eat the seeds! So, Alex spent a good hour and a half with a kit, carving a couple of very cool pumpkins.
