Pumpkin Season!!!

It's finally here! The season of pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin carving! Until around three years ago I did not like pumpkin (still had the notion that it was a nasty veggie mom tried to get us to eat) but ever since I re-discovered it, I have been in love! Needless to say there has been a lot of baking going on in the Bean home. :) Last night however was not devoted to baking pumpkin cookies, but in carving pumpkins with our new friends Deanna, Bryce, Anika, and Derek! We had such a great time with them and produced some pretty good looking pumpkins. :) Unfortunately I didn't have my camera on me while we were carving the pumpkins, but below are a few pictures of the ones Jeff and I carved.

Jeff stole my idea of carving a pumpkin behind bars, but I forgave him as he did a way better job than I could have! Mine tend to break or become something unrecognizable. Haha


Yes those are tooth picks holding it together. Haha my brilliant idea taken all I could think of was carving BOO! with some bats, and I even ruined that. :P 


Our amazing pumpkins!


I love Jeff's! He made it look so cool! 

I love the fall and cannot wait for Halloween! While I'm not a fan of the cold, it's worth it to see all the beautiful colors that come out at this time of the year! Jeff and I will definitely be going for rides and walks in the canyon a lot before all the leaves fall. :)
