James was off work on Friday, so we gathered up the kids and went to a local Pumpkin Patch. Thade had been looking forward to the trip for quite a while, but once we got to the patch, he changed his mind.  He wasn’t too cheerful, but the rest of us had a great time. The weather was just right for finding the perfect pumpkin.

We ended up bringing home two pumpkins, one for each child. Right now the pumpkins are sitting by the front door, so it looks like I decorated. We are planning on going to another pumpkin patch next year, by the end of the day Thade said that it was a lot of fun. Maybe Thade will enjoy the messy job of decorating the pumpkins 😉 This year I’m going to try and make Toasted Pumpkin Seeds. I hope they turn out super yummy.

What Halloween traditions do plan with your family?  Are you toasting your seeds, or using them for any other recipes?
