The Pumpkin Patch

So this is the second year in a row that we have gone to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. Already I can't believe that we ever did it any other way. It's such a fun tradition. It's also easy, quick, and low key which makes it even better. There's no planning involved other than Step 1: Go to pumpkin patch. Step 2: Pick out pumpkins. That's the kind of simplicity that I love.

We went a little later in the month than I would have liked but that's okay, it all worked out.


We managed to get a wheel barrow from another departing family. I let Brigham hop in since he wasn't feeling well. Seeing him getting rolled around reminded me of getting rides in my dad's wheel barrow growing up. Good times!


Nathaniel found his pumpkin first. He liked that it had some green marks on it. He thought he could make something scary with it when we paint them.


Jonathan picked a huge pumpkin. He had trouble carrying it and we had to help him. I was a little worried that one wrong move would shatter his hopes and dreams of a happy halloween.


I love this picture of everyone running down the lane trying to find the perfect pumpkin for Jaaromy and Brigham. I had already found my perfect pumpkin but I never think to get a picture of myself.


Here is Jaaromy's perfect pumpkin. It's even bigger than Jonathan's!


Here is Brigham's perfect pumpkin. Bigger than Nathaniel's but smaller than everyone else's. We couldn't get him to look at the camera. Like I mentioned, he isn't feeling well. Although he wasn't as down as he looks in this picture. Also, this is the closest I am to being in a picture. Woo Hoo!


Going to the pumpkin patch is becoming one of our favorite traditions. It's a great way to spend an Autumn evening.


Here are our awesome pumpkins all lined up in front of our house. Also pictured: my new spooky cat stake since my witch was stolen last year. I love it.


The pumpkin patch also had these adorable little pumpkins and I was too weak to resist them. The larger pumpkin is Jonathan's. He brought it home from school earlier that week.

Apparently, I love pumpkins. I didn't take a picture, but my house was all decorated with pumpkins on the outside. Other than my spooky cat stake, all pumpkins. They're just so cute!
