Pumpkin Picking & Halloween Cookies

Do you pick pumpkins or harvest them? I don't know the correct terminology for it. Anyway, the last weekend in June my mom had Bella, Ryan, and Alex plant the little pumpkins in her back yard. Last week it was time to cut them off the vines! The kids were so excited since they'd watch their little punkins grow for months! After we picked them we decorated cornocopias with them (see previous post). The white ones are "ghost pumpkins"

On Thursday we had another Halloween project! Candace and Kristie came over to Ona's house and helped us make some yummy Halloween cookies!

Ah I've said it before and I'll say it again.... I LOVE THE FALL!!!
