Pumpkins and Trash


We went to the little zoo up the street from us this weekend to get pumpkins, and believe it or not, I forgot my camera. So, I don't have any cute pumpkin patch pictures, but the pumpkins have been a huge hit at the house and here are a few pics of the boys playing with them.






For whatever reason, Alec loves to move the pumpkins, and on several occasions we have found them all lined up in a row in the family room. Cute, although Matt's pumpkin weighs 28 lbs, so you can imagine Alec hauling it around the house. I may end up with a smashed pumpkin disaster before the 31st.


Also good for hide and seek


and a few shots of the trash men of 808 N Main St. Now that Alec has a stock pile of Veolia trash gear, Matt can also dress up for Sunday trash duty. Matt said he laughed last night thinking about what all the drivers passing by thought last night when they saw them out in their glowing vests.

All I can say is: "IT'S GENETIC"

You used to line up, categorize, re-categorize and basically do data digging with everything, especially Halloween candy.

It's in Alec's DNA to use the pumpkins this way.

Just wait till Charlie joins him.

Erin you actually said "get organized" at about 2...then lined it all up.
Someone call the green people and get Alec an agent. He should be the poster child for recycle. I just want to help...he looks so excited.
Love the pictures...and great pumpkins. Halloween will be way fun at your house. Hugs from Bub
