It's that time of year again, Walnut Harvest! Last year the boys really enjoyed going out into grandma and grandpa Tolman's with Jordan and picking up walnuts during the day and I can't believe that was a year ago. Here we are again, time to harvest the nuts. On Monday the sweeper came and swept all the nuts to the center and then they were picked up by another piece of equipment (don't ask me, I'm not a farmer). Left behind are tons of nuts, both in the cracks and still left on the trees. We'd been out during the week picking up buckets of nuts and on Saturday spend several hours out getting more.

Later Saturday night was our ANNUAL Pumpkin Carving Contest - where EVERYONE Wins! Ann always gets cute little treats for the kids and they LOVE it!
Like mother like sons, my boys don't like getting their hands yucky in pumpkin guts! YUCK!

Benson tried his hand at tracing/poking the lines of his design. He did pretty well.
To match their halloween costumes Benson chose a SPIDER and Max a BAT

All the yummy treat throughout the night were great! Ann and Aunt Sue made these super cute witches hats that were chocolate cookies with hershey kisses and sprinkles and eyeball cupcakes. Alisha made these white chocolate covered donut holes that looked like eye balls. All the treats were a huge hit!
