Picking Pumpkins

Chris, Sam and I went out one evening last week to find our pumpkins. Not sure if we will find time to actually carve any this year but we wanted to at least let Sam have the fun of picking out her first pumpkin, now that she actually knows and understands what they are. So, I told Chris to keep his eyes out for a fun, family focused kind of pumpkin patch that we could go to. Weeks ago he came across one and saw kids out in the pumpkin patch running around to find the perfect pumpkin, it seemed perfect. By the time we got settled in Madison and had time to head out to find a pumpkin the fun pumpkin patch had been reduced to a pile of pumpkins on a cart. Oh well, we still had a great time in the freezing cold and bitter wind!


This is the face that Sam makes right now when you tell her to look at the camera and say "Cheese". I love the early "fake" smiles.
It took Sam quite a long time to decide which small pumpkin she wanted to bring home; we ended up with one large pumpkin and three small gourds! We just couldn't be mean parents and keep her to only one!
