pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere

This last weekend Jake and I went to the pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins. There were sooo many to choose from and poor Jake had to wait while I searched for the perfect one while he carried his around following me. I felt bad -but- if you are going to go to a pumpkin patch you have to get the exact perfect one for yourself...he just found his a lot faster than I did. Anyway it was a lot of fun and here is what we got.
My pumpkin (left) weighed in at 20lbs and Jake's (right) weighed in at 23lbs. Pretty good size pumpkins. However, I took some pictures of our pumpkins next to the really big ones and for some reason the picture won't upload but they were the pumpkins from the previous pumpkin post and I can only imagine that those pumpkins most certainly were all 50lbs and bigger. All in all it was cheap, good fun entertainment, and a fun outing together. I will have to post the third and final installment of the pumpkin post after Halloween.

Those are VERY good pumpkins. I think the worst thing about finding the perfect pumpkin is carving it. Mine usually don't get carved and then stick around until Thanksgiving because I love them so much!

Those are fantastic pumpkins! I am sooooo jealous. I havent got one pumpkin yet (I cant imagine why?) and I need mine NOW.

I like a mix of carved and uncarved so I can save pumpkins on my porch through Thanksgiving also. I buy LOTS of pumpkins in all sizes. I feel so happy when I walk up to my door with holiday decoration greeting me!

Halloween hugs,
Mom

I really want to take the kids to pick their own pumpkin sometime, I think they would love it and you obviously never get to old to enjoy pumpkin picking right!
