A Pumpkin Carving Party For Two

We carved our pumpkin this weekend and it was definitely a success! We don't always have the best luck with carving so I'm glad it is documented we got this right. We think it's a pretty rad design and are just thankful we didn't cut the stencil out backwards again. Hooray. Hope you enjoy this little video of us working our magic on this jack-o'-lantern. This is sort of our first "home" video so you will definitely be tired of our faces by the end!

Our First Fall Family Tradition

Tad and I have been talking about new family traditions since the day we were married. Our latest is to pick the perfect pumpkin from a local pumpkin patch every fall. The weather was so crisp this week and couldn't have been more perfect for this occasion.

I haven't been to a pumpkin patch since I was a little girl. I thought we would just find one pumpkin and be on our merry way. Who was I kidding? Before I knew it, we had six pumpkins in all shapes and sizes. I just couldn't stop. I've always been obsessed with anything pumpkin, but now it's at a whole new level. Can't wait to carve this jack-o'-lantern soon! Halloween is my second favorite holiday and I am beyond ready for more pumpkins, horror movies and candy overload.
