We arrived and got ready to head to the "patch".
Now in my head, I was thinking patch=big field full of pumpkins, but when we got there, we first came to a collection of about 30 pumpkins at the front of the store. That was enough for us and we didn't really take the time to investigate if there was an actual "patch" like I was thinking. Instead, we just surveyed the pumpkins in the collection and found two that would suit our purposes. Anti-climactic? Yes, but we got what we needed...
Cameron was very picky about the pumpkins he wanted to bring home!
Saturday morning, we got ready to work on my special project.
Zack took over carving duties.
Cameron took over the supervising duties.
After three tries, we finally got the holes big enough and now I proudly present to you...
Cameron Hardy in a Pumpkin!!
I love how these pictures turned out. My intention was to get them printed and send out Halloween cards to everyone, however, realistically, with the amount of free time I have lately, the Halloween cards would probably get to you by the week after Thanksgiving. So, I decided to share them here instead! Cameron did a great job and was very patient in putting up with my antics! I have to take advantage of his inability to object to sitting in a cold, slimy pumpkin for an absolutely adorable picture while I can!!
10/31**I need to edit this to add that Cameron is the proud winner of our local news station's Halloween picture contest thanks to the picture above! He got over 100 votes for favorite picture. We are now the proud winners of a Heartland series t-shirt and "bragging rights" according to the news station's web site- Go Cameron!!!**
This is the cutest thing I've ever seen! What a great idea, Laura! I love looking at your pumpkin boy! Love, Aunt Sue
