We went pumpkin picking at a local house a couple weeks ago. It was a small little patch, which was good for the kids. They really didn't seem all that interested in actually picking one for themselves. We ended up with 4 and carved one into a Cinderella slipper. But then it started growing something inside so I put it outside and then the rain got to it and now it is broken mush. I would say we're not huge on the whole decorating and carving pumpkins, but it was our first time to do it as a family, so maybe as the kids get older it will be funner.
