Promised Pumpkin Pics!

Pumpkin craziness!

Because of Josh's job, we sometimes have the opportunity for different things around here. This year, he decided to have a pumpkin patch at church to help raise money for the children and youth events next summer. Because this is his deal, I have a feeling I will hate pumpkins by the time the 31st rolls around. However, this morning we were full of excitement because we knew the pumpkins were coming! Josh told me earlier in the week that we were only getting a quarter of a truck, but me being the city girl that I am, had no idea what that meant. Well, it turns out that a quarter of a truck is 918 pumpkins plus a crate of "spookeys" and about 20 boxes of minis, gourds, and other various pumpkin-like things. Although it was way more work than I am accustomed too (I am WAY out of shape!), we had a blast working with good friends to complete a goal. I was proud of the children and youth that helped, and touched by the adults that helped (with no youth or children of their own). I really liked the two shortest helpers that just kept on working even though they were worn out! I truly hope that in the midst of this wacky life that happens at our house, they are learning to help even when there is nothing for them to gain. Today they did a great job!!!

Having picture issues. I'll try again tomorrow.
