How many pumpkins can fit in a Suburban?....

On Halloween our church is hosting its annual Fall Fest and this year I am pretty much co-chair to all the things it requires to get it going.... we are going to have hay rides, make your own caramel apples, games, a maze, a cake walk, face painting, and a "Pumpkin Patch" where you child can go and pick out their own little pumpkin and then decorate it with paint or stickers....

My husband had to go talk to some clients on Saturday morning and when he was driving there he saw some pumpkins for sale on the side of the town square, so he called me up and told me to head on down there to get all the little ones they had....

and I did.....

this is almost 70 pumpkins, a full size stroller, an extra booster seat, a couple bags of clothes for the goodwill, and a bunch of other stuff that just seems to grow in my car.....

I also picked up a few for us and Saturday night the kids and Mr. D decided to carve them... we let they kids stipulate what the faces would look like, and then Mr. D carved them out.... when it came time to empty the seeds and all, we headed outside .....

Miss. S said hers looked like it was throwing up.... nice....

Then things went a little kooky... we had a HUGE bowl of all the seeds and slime, and we decided to have a pumpkin goo fight, we had it in our hair, on our clothes, on our faces in in other unmentionable places... we all had to go in and take a showers.... it was fun though, and my husband reminded me that this is a memory that my kids will always have, not only carving the pumpkins, put running and screaming and having fun ... I agree.....

P.S. I have so much on my plate this week, I don't know how I am going to get to read all my fave blogs and write on my own, I shouldn' t be on the computer right now, I have a TON of stuff to do, like stuff 160 treat bags, paint a huge pumpkin cut out, make a fall fest sign , and oh yeah, take care of my house and kids..... so if I don;t comment alot this week, know I still love ya and hope to talk to ya'll soon..... big hugs!!!!
