I forgot to mention the fun we had at a near by Church's "Pumpkin Patch". In TX, there are a noticeable absence of pumpkin fields so really it's just another place the semi's drop them off after they are done unloading them at the local supermarket. No bother. At least they were strewn all over the grass and surrounded by fun fall decor. Our first trip was with Tiago and Talia and a few friends.
Tiago picked out two medium size pumpkins for him and Mia and a tiny one for Talia. Tiago was loving all the pumpkins. 
He would pick up several and was curious how some had disgusting warts. (you and me both buddy) 
Right before we left, Tiago got a special chance to drive a cardboard tractor as shown here: 
Later we brought Mia to see the patch and bought our pumpkin at the commissary another day.
Funny, we kept meaning to carve our family pumpkin, but the kids go to bed by 6:30 pm. It makes for little time to do anything aside from homework, dinner, and get ready for the next day. Mia's pumpkin was carved and gutted at school in a science lesson. She wanted to let Tiago get in on the action. She kept telling him about the slime and seeds and guessed there were over one hundred in our family pumpkin. I attempted to carve Tiago's with a Lightening McQueen on it, but it was too small and just looked like a modern art piece with random holes. I just carved the family pumpkin with Mia Nov. 1 and we just opted to do a Thanksgiving one. We'll see how long it lasts. 
Mia's and Tiago's little pumpkins were moldy by day 2.

So fun! I finally gave up on having the kids help with the pumpkin carving - the parents just did it one night after bedtime. Surprise!
Mia looks great in her posed shot - your kids get cuter every day!
