Well, even though it was 100 degrees today, we decided it was close enough to Halloween to go to our local pumpkin patch! 
We've gone to Tolmachoff Farms for several years now and they seem to have the best selection and that "down-home-country feeling" when you arrive at the farm.
Aunt Ali and Uncle Kyle went with us and the kids as we all sweated our way around the haystacks to pick out the best pumpkins.
We ended up with two really nice pumpkins, one for each child, 
and also purchased some homemade blackberry surup and some spicy salsa (what fall season is complete in Arizona, without some chips and salsa! p.s. - notice the homage to Glendale Prep in this photo)
Later that afternoon, we carved and ate the fruits of our labor (or are pumpkins a veggie??) by roasting the pumpkin seeds and also making some pumpkin cream-cheese rolls from the insides.
The kids loved carving the pumpkins. Ali helped Josh make his scared pumpkin, and Angela helped Jacob make his scary pumpkin. 
What a fun day!
Now, if it would only cool off a bit, we might feel like we can go trick-or-treating without all the candy melting...
