Over the weekend, we took Matt to a pumpkin patch at a local church and let him explore. Turns out, he explored everything but the pumpkins. He kept climbing up on the haystacks, and on the palettes and walking around on them. It was a tough transition back to the car after that visit, but he survived!
He wouldn't dare sit still and pose for a picture on the hay. He was too busy exploring all the new things.
He was picking out a pumpkin from the ones used to price the rest. Notice, he's one from the "top of the line" pumpkin. Great taste, I guess.
Once we got the pumpkins home, we decided to get messy with the taller of the two we bought. Yes, it will probably rot by next Wednesday, but we had fun anyway!
Matt was okay with holding all the tools, and helping scoop with a long handled spoon, but when it came time to touch the pumpkin "goop", he just wanted to watch.
He did help me get the seeds and goop from my hands by flicking them off violently!
I tried to get him in there, but he held on tight to his spoon instead.
He looks like he was helpful, doesn't he? I was almost elbow deep in the pumpkin! He did help put his hat on when we were all done.
I'll have to get a picture of him with his pumpkin on the porch. We'll be painting the other one this weekend. That should be interesting...
