Pumpkin Patch & 750+ Pumpkin Carving Stencils

It’s hard to believe that Halloween is next week! It seems like October just started but it’s definitely time for pumpkin carving. The kids and I went to the pumpkin patch last weekend with my friend Katie and her two kids. (Clearly, Adeline was not in the mood for pictures.)

Elias picked a BIG pumpkin (I could barely lift it) and Adeline picked a pumpkin so small we won’t be able to carve it.

It’s a little early for pumpkin carving for us- we like to carve pumpkins right before Halloween- so for now, the pumpkins are lining our fireplace. We will probably carve them Tuesday night.
