Cotton and Pumpkin Carving!!!

The cotton fields and fall leaves everywhere are so beautiful in Alabama!!! I love fall so much with all the colors and holidays.  These first two pictures are taken with my phone and the first one is looking through our dirty windshield so it doesn't do the field justice.  It was so interesting too to see cotton bales!

Everywhere you go the white fields just pop!  Most of them are by busy roads though or I didn't have my camera with me so sadly, the pictures of our family are not by the best looking cotton field.  There was a parking lot right by that one though so I thought it would be the safest one to pull over by and get a picture of us by the field without worrying about traffic.  I'll have to scout out a better spot for next year!

We bought our pumpkins from a Baptist Church just down the street.  We weren't able to make it to the family fun farms this year because the kids keep getting coughs and runny noses off and on or it's been raining on the weekends.

The pumpkins rotted and shriveled after only a couple days.  I started noticing that other houses had pumpkins out, but hadn't carved them yet, so I guess in the Alabama heat you've got to wait to carve your pumpkins.  I don't remember if our pumpkins died that fast last year or not.

Cooper lost interest in the pumpkins, found a pine cone, and pretended it was a phone.
