Pumpkin Patch

We were going to go to the pumpkin patch during the weekend of October 18-20th...But Peter ended up with Pink Eye, so we didn't go anywhere! After work last week I brought Peter there by myself (Haley helped) because Ben was still at work. We were going to carve them this past weekend, but Ben's car went to Used Car Heaven so we ended up car shopping instead. (We bought a 1999 Ford Contour SE...I'll post pictures of it at some point!) So this year all's we have is pumpkins...No Jack-O-Lanterns. We'll just have to shoot for next year!

Funny story about the pumpkin patch...
Because we only went one week before Halloween, the patch was kind of picked over. Haley and I were trying to find a few decent pumpkins to buy, which was becoming a difficult task. We sort of lost track of Peter for a few seconds...When we spotted him, he was about twenty yards away and he was hauling a pumpkin by himself over to the owner of the patch. The funny part is that the ONE pumpkin that Peter picked out on his own was WHITE. It wasn't a gourd or other scary looking vegetable that comes out around this time of year, it was an ALBINO pumpkin. It is so ugly looking. A huge field of orange pumpkins, and the one he wants is white... :D I bought it for him and we lugged our pumpkins home. They are now sitting in a row in the garage, waiting to rot instead of waiting to be carved. :(
