Picking the Perfect Pumpkin!!!

I am actually updating this on the actual day it happened...that is an amazement in itself!!! Today was suppossed to be a beautiful day outside (well, the weather man lied, but at least it wasn't raining). I told the kids that after Seth got home from school we were going to go somewhere fun. They had been waiting all day for it. Seth came out of school with a big grin on his face because he had a good day at school and wanted to know where we were going. I told him we were going pumpkin picking and he lit up. He was very excited. We set out for the perfect pumpkin!!!

After some heavy lifting, Seth finally found his pumpkin.
Grace on the other hand was on a mission. She kept telling me that she had already been to the pumpkin patch (she brought a pumpkin home from school on Thursday because they had their fall festival and the kids got to pick out a pumpkin to bring home). However, this time around she was bound and determined to find a pumpkin with warts on it. She saw a pumpkin with warts that a friend of hers had and decided she wanted one like it. Finally, after combing the entire patch, she found hers!!!
On our way back to the pick up spot with our prizes to wait for the bus.


While waiting for the bus, which turned out to be the tractor (little on the chilly side for the tractor ride, but nice), Richie walked over to the corn field and took a corn cob and peeled the corn off for the kids to see what feed corn looked like. They decided it looked better in the air!!

My kids love it when I have the camera!! LOL
