Pickin Punkins

We went to the local pumpkin patch just before we dropped Hunter off for scouts. It is a lot on the main street that also sells Christmas trees in December. They had a nice little setup, and the kids had a blast picking just the right pumpkin for them. Hunter wanted one that was nice and round because he was doing a school project that involved turning a pumpkin into a globe. Emma wanted one with no dents or bumps on it, and Hannah wanted one that she could carry by herself and that had a yellowish orange skin. Sabrina got a little one just the right size for her, and mom and dad got a nice one to share. We are waiting to carve them until right before Halloween, because last year they rotted so fast! It has still been quite warm here, so that will be something we do this weekend! Take a look at all of their picks in the gallery.

    The picture of Sabrina is so DARLING. She is getting so big. Pumpkin hunting is so much fun we wish we could do it more often. My kids named their pumpkins. I dont know what we are going to so when they rot.
