pumpkin fun

We've celebrated the season and had fun with pumpkins the last few days! 

My little "pumpkin" and I had lots of fun at our neighborhood party on Saturday. Unfortunately  Daddy was sick and didn't get to join us, but we loved getting a chance to get to know our new neighbors, share a meal with them, enjoy a campfire with Carson's first roasted marshmallow, and listen to live music! 

Carson had fun painting pumpkins! 

Proud of his masterpieces:) 

When it came time to carve the big "Daddy" pumpkin, he was not a fan of touching the pumpkin goo! Like father like son! I say, dig in, the messier, the better;) 

For the first time, I decided to roast the seeds this year! It was fun, easy, and quite tasty. Carson thought they tasted like peanuts, and they reminded me of popcorn. Definitely a new tradition around here!

Posing with our Jack-O-Lantern. Carson decided he had a twinkle in his eye like the one in his very favorite Halloween book, The Runaway Pumpkin. I'm just thankful he wasn't quite as big as the one in the book;)

Fall is such a fun time of year, and I'm thankful to be able to spend my days enjoying life and making memories with the sweetest boy I know!
