Pumpkins & Archery

The pumpkin patch at the farm is one of Ima's projects and each year it gets better and bigger!! No doubt this was the best harvest yet, but just wait until next year. I think she has even bigger plans! It is important to us that the kids are involved in the pumpkin patch and the work that comes with it. Unfortunately the pumpkins were so big that the kids couldn't lift them. So Ima and I were left with a lot of the heavy lifting and let's be honest, we all know my mom is stronger than me!! But check out our haul! 

We had the kids in the back of the pick up rolling the pumpkins to the back. I thought this was a pretty cush job until I had to get in and do it and appreciated their little bodies crawling around back there rolling the pumpkins!

And we wrapped up with a little archery practice. These are the moments that I step outside of my mind and think "is this really my family?" Yes, yes it is! Our survival skills are really getting good! I am still in charge of keeping everything organized :)
