Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Melinda at West Metro Mommy Reads.
Still not much fall color here - the meteorologists say it was too wet all summer and fall and way too hot in the fall (we had 80's right through mid-October) for good color in the leaves. Much of it is just going from green to brown and then falling off. Still hoping that we get a little color - early November is usually our peak here.
So, instead of fall leaves, here are some photos of our pumpkin adventures this week! We made our annual trip to a local market (used to be a huge orchard & farm) where we go each year to pick out our pumpkins and eat homemade donuts! The only time we could get everyone together was Wednesday morning, but we managed it. Last night, one son and his girlfriend came over for carving pumpkins (her first time ever). Here are some highlights:
