Get ’em while they’re orange!

We chose THE windiest day to go and find three special pumpkins.

{For A. it was quite easy to choose the perfectly shaped pumpkin. It was just a bit on the heavy side so she required a bit of assistance during the lifting part.}

{phew! Now she won’t blow away since she’s holding that giant pumpkin!}

{M. quickly found one just the right size for him. He kept reminding us that he knew how to say the word “pump-kin”}

{S. took her time, nearly blew away in the wind, searched near, searched far . . . and then we negotiated to settle on one that could be considered “nearly” perfect.}

{this image demonstrates how windy it was, but not how COLD the temperature was. This girl is determined to go with out a jacket most of the time, and she claims she just isn’t cold. She definitely doesn’t have my genes! My extremities are always cold.}

{thank you for joining us on our pumpkin patch adventure!!}

We purchased the three pumpkins for ? cents per pound and got all three for less than $6. I love a great deal! I guess we’d better figure out a time to carve them for Halloween now!!

I have many lists in my life. I have “should do’s” “have to’s” “want to’s” and “will do’s.” I decided to endulge in a little “want to” time and sort through a few pictures from yesterday:

{a quick visit to Grandma & Grandpa’s house . . . can you tell who is thrilled to be part of this photo?}

{Grandpa raked up the biggest pile of leaves EVER . . . just for the kids to play in. I even jumped in, and felt like I kid myself. Matthew was delighted with all of the crunchiness of his leafy mound. Our visit was longer than planned because I lost my car keys. After searching through the biggest pile of leaves EVER, we realized the keys were locked inside the car. A little help from AAA and 2 hours later we were finally home to greet Daddy-0 and ready to commence trick-or-treating. Good one, Amy. }

{Cool tree, great candy. My favorite trick-or-treating snap so far.}

{Spooky.}

{A. and the horse . . . actually she is supposed to BE the horse. Confusing but cute costume.}

{Loving interaction between my girls . . . lucky capture!}

{She’s the toughest, sweetist li’l cowgirl around!}

{Watch out! This horse BITES!}

{This is M. in his “Mom got carried away bidding on a Tom Arma limited edition zebra costume on ebay” outfit. Isn’t he the perfect zebra though?}

Now onto November. . . and I will share some photos from the cabin just as soon as I can. Promise.
