More Blow Up Fun

After the pumpkins have been up for a while, Will and Caroline usually begin to "play" with them more than they enjoy looking at them blown up. They go outside and turn them on and off, on and off. Then they move on to actually "playing" with them while they are turned off. Usually this involves some sort of sitting on them (at first). Eventually, they move on to putting items INSIDE the pumpkin. Last year, at the end of "pumpkin season", we had all kinds of items inside them, from toys to sticks and rocks. We even found one of our missing LIVE pumpkins that we didn't get to carve for Halloween because it was nowhere to be found!



These pictures were all taken the morning after we went to the fair with Uncle Rick and Aunt Wanda. We were all sitting outside, enjoying the cool morning weather because Uncle Rick and Aunt Wanda really never see that kind of weather where they live.



Will decided it would be fun to play the bongos on the blower inside the Will pumpkin.




Caroline ALWAYS has to do whatever brother does. Here she is playing the bongo on the blower inside the Caroline pumpkin.

Will needed a break, so he decided to lounge right there on the pumpkin.

Will and Caroline decided to finish things out by posing for the camera on the Will pumpkin. Unfortunately, as you can tell by this picture (if you look very closely), the Will pumpkin no longer has a complete stem. Will and Daddy ran over it with the lawn mower two days before this picture. Daddy put a rubber band on the top of the stem so that it would still blow up. Uncle Rick and Aunt Wanda decided he looks like he had a bad haircut.
