Little House in the Valley

Could this be the prize winning pumpkin?

Calling all strong men! LOL. We've been waiting for Dh to come home so that he and my dad could come and lift the pumpkins.


Here is K's prizewinning pumpkin! It is nearly as high as his waist and weighs a ton to.


There was no way that they were going to be able to carry them all the way to the house so we recruited our wheelbarrows to do the job *grin*


Here's Dh with K's pumpkin, it pretty much fills up the entire wheelbarrow.


Here's L's monster of a pumpkin :) She has been so excited watching it grow since it was the size of a tennis ball.


And last but not least Baby M's pumpkin : )


Here goes the wheelbarrow brigade. LOL. I was surprised K could pick up his and push it!


And they're off!


I just love these photos of them all together :)


L snagged a ride back with Opa.


I thought it would be fun to weigh the larger ones so we dug out my fishing scale from the garage and put them on one by one. Here is Baby M's weighing in at 45 lbs.


And here is K's weighing in at a whopping 125.9 lbs!! See I wasn't joking when I said it weighed ton *grin*


L didn't think it weighed enough so we sat her up on top of it to beef it up a little : )


Dh and my dad putting them in there final resting place. I think they were glad to be done with them after I had them pose for photos.... can your turn it my way.... oh lift it just a little higher..... oh come on hunny I know you can get the scale out so we can weigh them. LOL. They are definitely staying put until they start to rot *grin*

What nice pictures I love the one of the three pushing the pumpkins. I was watching the news just yesterday and I saw where the winning pumpkin weighed in at over 1500 lbs. You'll are on your way lol.

Just read your comment you left on my homestead blog. Which part of Austria are you from? We drove through Switzerland in September but have never been to Austria. Switzerland was stunning. Busy making a travel blog (link can be found at my homeschool blog /debsplace
