PUMPKINS IN FLORIDA

Long lasting Florida pumpkins!

An 85 degree fall day.

My girls are all blurry.

Spiderman, maybe not so cool?

Yes, you can go to the pumpkin patch in Florida, it is great for a photo op. You can even scoop your pumpkin out and carve it. It looks really cute or scary, whatever you want --FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS-then the mold sets in. A real pumpkin does not do well in 80% subtropical humidity. There is all kinds of spray and stuff you can buy to make them last, but it never works.

So, we put our heads together and came up with our very own Florida pumpkins, they are styrofoam, bought at Michael's and they can be carved, painted, decorated or just left in their natural foamy condition.

Today was also the big day in terms of the Spiderman costume. I am happy to report that Jia got to try it on, and made her very own decision to choose another costume. We are going to keep it a secret until Halloween, but lets just say it is a choice that made both Jia and Mommy very happy (and I promise, I didn't say a word...)
