Pumpkins

The Monday evening before Halloween (October 26) Nick, Trevor and I decided we should go get pumpkins from the pumpkin patch by our house for our family home evening activity. So did a lot of other people. It was pretty busy and a little chilly but Trevor helped us pick out some great pumpkins.

Here he is amid all the pumpkins...oh so many choices...whichever one will he choose?

This is the pumpkin Trevor came to love and carry all around the house for the next 5 days--

This pumpkin was just his size. He loved it.

That same week, on Friday night, we decided that we should carve our pumpkins. We actually got Trevor a little bigger pumpkin to carve but I decided to let him paint it instead. He loved it.
Look at the concentration on his face! After he painted his pumpkin he helped Nick and I carve ours. He wasn't really sure about what to think about gutting the pumpkin at first. He put his hand in my pumpkin and said "yew" but by the end I think he liked it enough.

But from this picture with Nick you wouldn't think so.

After we got all done we lit the two bigger pumpkins so Trevor could see what it looked like. He loved that part he went around the house and turned off all the lights. And after we looked at them he loved blowing the candles out!
