~Carving Pumpkins~

This year we carved our pumpkins in the back yard. It was a little warm out and the dead grass kept blowing on the girls but I think they enjoyed doing it all the same. Alex went on a field trip to a pumpkin patch with her class. Nana went with her. They had a good time. They came back with two pumpkins, one for Sydney, one for Alex. Clay and I decided not to do pumpkins this year. Alex made a pirate Jack O lantern. He was complete with his own eye patch. Alex is very artistic and imaginative. She is always drawing. She even drew a picture of how she wanted her pumpkin to look when she was done carving.

Sydney made a pig jack o lantern this year. It turned out cute! We didn't even get to light them up this year. We brought all the decorations inside, turned off the lights, and hid from all the trick or treaters. The girls had a blast sitting in their dark room watching the trick or treaters walk by.

As always when we're out back, we had lots of help from our pets. Cassius and I played on the trampoline while Daddy helped with the pumpkins. The chickens even joined in the pumpkin carving party. The ate a little bit of the pumpkin guts but not much. It was just another typical, fun loving day on the Dozier farm!
