Harvest time - pulling up the pumpkins

Even though it is technically the end of November currently, I'm still posting back in October..
However, the weather this year in the fall has been absolutely beautiful so it feels very much like fall still - we have been so lucky! It's so nice to be able to go outside so much still.
Back in October, we were able to harvest our garden veggies and of course, we saved the pumpkins for last since they "hang out on the vine" until it is close to Halloween.
The kids were so excited to go and pick them!
 
It was so cute to watch them try to figure out how to get the pumpkins off the vine and they were carefully choosing the pumpkins they liked best...
Spence had to help them try and take the pumpkins off without completely breaking their little stems
This was how Rio wanted to collect her pumpkin - she kept saying, "I'm a true princess now"
Austin was such a great help!  He always is actually - he'd much rather help us clean or garden than go play on his own - he is such a great helper!  He thought it was so cool to put the pumpkins in the wheelbarrow
Rio helping too...
These really orange/red pumpkins are called "cinderella" pumpkins - I think that is why Rio kept saying she was a "true princess" - such a cutie!  They were so cool lookin' - we loved them
Me and the kiddos after collecting our load!  We grew 11 pumpkins this year!!
HAPPY HARVEST!
