My lil' Pumpkins


We ventured out to the pumpkin patch today. We always have a good time inspecting the pumpkins for "worms" and other flaws. We selected three of the finest pumpkins in the NW to grace our porch this year. I snapped a few shots of the kids ferrying their selections away as the rule is: "if you can't carry it, you can't keep it." (Well, except for Emma. She had a little help.) It was a nice trip. The patch wasn't too crowded and the kids were able to inspect several squished and decomposing pumpkins; pretend to drive a tractor; use the port-a-potty; and (almost) push the wheel barrow.

"I've learned there are three things you don't discuss with people: religion, politics and the Great Pumpkin."
~Linus, from It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)

Way to go on the dress! Impressive skills :) I love to quilt - who woulda thought we'd be such domestic goddesses, huh? (Must have been all of those late-night Nerts games - trained our hands for future handicrafts HA!)
