Pumpkins

After picking pumpkins at Di & Rog's a couple weeks ago, Cooper was ready to carve pumpkins. One of his favorite hobbies right now is cutting. He will sit at the table with his kid scissor and shred all the political junk mail and ads for at least an hour if you let him or watch out if we take out the Play Doh!

As in prior years we wanted to also go to Eveland Family Farm to go on a hay ride and see the animals. It really is an amazing place we always enjoy ourselves when we go there. Cooper loved seeing the animals as always though he was a little scared on the hayride which surprised us, since he is normally so fearless. He had to hold both of our hands the entire time, not that I am really complaining..

Now it was time to finally carve the pumpkins! He was so excited and kept asking if he could cut by himself. He did pretty good carving with a little help from us.

Here are the finished pumpkins:

Then on Friday night we went to my parent's to carve more pumpkins and hang out with my family. Cooper still wouldn't touch the "guts" of the pumpkins but he had a blast carving and hanging out with Kaylin.
