pumpkins

Pumpkins!! How exciting it is to pick out pumpkins every year. The kids get so excited, as well as myself, searching for that perfectly shaped pumpkin. I usually pick an odd shape-I feel it has more character, and needs to be loved also. So far we have purchased two pumpkins from Payless, but I am hoping this weekend to take the kids to a pumpkin patch. We will need cornstocks and mums to get us ready for fall. This picture of Aidan was when he was only 18 months old-it was his first time to a pumpkin patch and he picked it out himself. This will always be one of my favorite photos. Who could resist those chubby cheeks and dimples?
