Have fun planning your Easter get together.  It’s a great time for families to be together.  I hope everyone has nice weather to be able to enjoy the outdoors a little.  It would be nice to have an outdoor Easter egg hunt this year.  My kids have only known indoor ones, because we were usually in Canada for Easter weekend, celebrating with my family.  This year we are staying south and looking forward to warm weather.  I have not planned my menu yet, but I do have some ideas.  What are you doing got Easter?

Pumpkin Picking

Christiana George

With snow on the ground this morning I am reminiscing about our  pumpkin picking day about 2 weeks ago.  The weather was so warm.  This is the first year that my kids are wearing shorts and flip flops for our pumpkin picking photos. 

My daughter is always ready to pose for pictures.  I’ve had a camera in her face since she was born.  She can say “cheese” on demand.  My son on the other hand is not so interested in having his picture taken.  You can see he looks quite bored by the whole process.  Oh well, he will have to deal with it because I do take a lot of photos.

It’s not always easy to pick the best looking pumpkins.  We were able to find three that we liked.



The big one was for me to carve.  My daughter had chosen a template to a skull, which would look perfect on that pumpkin.  Unfortunately, we had a lot of rain after that weekend and one day I came home from work to find a pile of mush on my front doorstep.  I had to take out that snow shovel to scoop up the mess and throw in the garbage and then hose down the steps.  There was pumpkin ooze everywhere.  Well at least Buzz and the little pumpkin survived. 

The pieces for Buzz I found at Target for $6. It was too cute too pass up.  My daughter loves Buzz Lightyear.  She is dressing up as him for Halloween again this year.

I just thought this was interesting.  Someone drove up in this vehicle at the pumpkin farm.  I don’t think I have ever seen anything like it.
