Pumpkin Season

I. Love. Fall.  Growing up, there were probably a dozen pumpkin patches to choose from each fall season.  Here in Alabama, I was just so grateful there was one.  Luke and I went to a farm in Harpersville, AL.  It had your typical corn maze, pumpkin patch, hay bale ride, and fall treats.  But there was something there you would not expect at a pumpkin patch: A cival war reinactment.  That was definitely a first for me.

This trip to a pumpkin patch was special.  Luke and I met exactly four years before on that day at a ward activity to a pumpkin patch.  It was special that four years later, we were married, thousands of miles from where we met, enjoying picking a pumpkin.

When we took our pumpkins home, we also had a lot of fun decorating and carving them!

We attended our church's trunk-or-treat event.  We decided to participate with the trunking and decorated our trunk.  We were very please by the kinds of things we could purchase at the Dollar Store (always a winner) and had fun making a cob web with spiders in our trunk with other spooky things including a spooky light and music from our phones.  All that mattered to us was that our Sumbeams (3-4 year-old) students loved looking at our trunk, and were definite fans of the Minion pumpkin.  They were like 100% of why Luke carved a Minion.

Luke and I went dressed as Peter Pan and his shadow.  Fun fact: I was all dressed up as Tinker Bell (Yes, we recycled our costumes from the Disneyland race) and 5 minutes before we left, decided to make a costume change. But it was a hit!
