The Perfect Pumpkin

When I had just Maddie we used to plan a big outing to the pumpkin patch. I'd pick the perfect outfit and we took tons of great shots.
With Kinley, it was the same. I have a ton of great photos from this day although this scanned picture does not do it justice.

Now that we have three little ones, our pictures look more like this......
The pictures are not quite the same but we do have a lot of fun and still search for the perfect pumpkin.

Cade chose a cute little pumpkin.
He wanted to make sure he chose the smallest one in the patch.
Maddie wanted a symmetrical one with no lumps or deformities. She thought it was funny to give her little jack a lantern smile in the pumpkins.

Kinley wanted a pumpkin that was almost as big as her.

We talked her out of this one.
Regardless the size or the bumps, the end result is always the same, a fun night of pumpkin carving and salty fried pumpkin seeds. We wouldn't trade that for anything.
