Pumpkin Carving from Start to Finish

Considering that the DeRoest family was all together for the wedding of our brother Rodney and it is the month of October, the idea of a family trip to the Roloff Farm Pumpkin Patch arose from master-minds Brent and Randi. For those of you who watch TLC you are probably aware of the Roloff Farm due to the show Little People, Big World. If you haven't ever watched the program, I recommend that you check it out because it is a sweet reality program about this family in Oregon. Incidentally, the season premiere is Monday night (13th) on TLC. Anyways, our trip to the farm on Friday morning was a fun adventure. We all picked out the best pumpkins AND we made sure to take lots of cute fall pictures with the babies. Brent and Randi even went on the farm tour where they got to see some of the Roloff's in person. On Sunday night we enjoyed carving up our pumpkins, roasting the seeds, and chatting about everything except politics (that was the rule). We did silently make our political views known though with the Obama sunrise carved into our pumpkin. Michael did a great job! :)

I have enjoyed having the ramp in front of the house lined with all the cute pumpkins reminding us of the fun time together.
However that was a couple weeks ago, and with tomorrow Halloween they have all taken on a new scary look which seems appropriate.

I'm jealous that you went to the Roloff Farms. I'd love to do that. I've been an avid watcher for sometime now. Love that family. I especially like Matt because he has accomplished more than most and he has disabilities that he could have hid behind as an excuse. What an amazing family! How fun for you all. Love seeing pics of Savannah. Can't wait to see her hair grow in and see what this beauty is going to look like as she grows up!
