Cool Pumpkins!!!

Wow look at these cool pumpkins we found in our garden...Tabitha is excited that she found a small plant under her pumpkin and a small cucumber ;o) How do you get it to stop underlining!!! If you look...what where did the underline go!! I hate computer and camera's but that is another story...if you look close you can see Tabitha's name in her pumpkin
She wants to make sure it doesn't get to cold before Halloween and Freeze ;o) So she covered it up for a couple of weeks
Here is one we found that said Grandma Terrie on it...Weird like there would be another grandma living here???
What have Grandpa and Tatem found???? Hiding behind the rose bush??
Yep a pumpkin that says Tatem on it! Interesting shape for a pumpkin don't you think?
We found one that had Terriebeths initials on it...doesn't she look happy???
Oh darn...it is Tatems...now how could that have happened
Yep I got the pictures out of order again ;o) Anyone surprised??? Here are a few whose pumpkins didn't turn out or just flat out disappeared... They are all pretty sad...Look at Ethans Face ;o)

Oh look we found one that had Caleb Theone on it!
And here is Ethan's ...his did disappear so we bought one and tried to put his name on it but it didn't really work and then it went bad really bad...but he was a sport for the camera anyway
Here is TJ that survived because of Cheyenne pepper but the squirrels did get a little of it before we got to it...so you couldn't even read TJ's name
Look what JT found... another pumpkin with a name on it....
Yep you guessed it...it says John Spratt III
So how did we get the names on them you ask...well first we had to go into the pumpkin patch with our swords and make sure it was safe.


Then we took toothpicks and carved our names in them when they were very little
Tatem had mommy help her with her name.
Then mommy wrote her name on a pumpkin close to where Tatems was...notice that is the same one????
Then she wrote John's name on one


Ethan is having Daddy help write his name on his...
Hollie is writing her name on one
Grandpa is showing Caleb where his is...mommy and Caleb wrote it before grandma could get the picture.
Terriebeth writing her name on another one because hers disappeared...hummmmm wonder why???
Tabitha writing her name on one.

I recommend you all try it for next year!! It is fun to watch you name grow as the pumpkins grow....and the kids love to see their name on them.
Stay tuned for a few of our favorite things from our Linder Farm experience Saturday...but it is after 8 and I'm tired so I'm headed to bed!!
Have a great day all...
