Pumpkin Pickers!

We went to get our pumpkins yesterday at Maybe's pumpkin patch! We love, LOVE this place! It's owned by a family that lives right off the field and every year they set up the cutest places to take pictures. This year we didn't actually get too many posed pictures because it was about 49 degrees and windy. We didn't dress well for the weather, so it was a quick trip! Jake fell asleep in the car on the way there, so I got to have a little heater attatched to me for the first few minutes while I carried sleepy Jake around.

Those of you who know what kind of pumpkins are usually sitting on our porch will know that something is a little different this year! Instead of "the great pumpkin" Brian always wanders the patch looking for we have a cluster of little pumpkins. The rule in our family is, when you find the pumpkin you want, no matter what the size, if you can pick it up, you can have it. Need I say more about the picture of Brian and his pumpkin this year?!

This is how strong my Tyler is getting! He pulled me and our pumpkins in a wagon all the way down the road! We were about to hit a pumpkin so I told him to watch out and not hit the pumpkin. Jake, who had already gotten a ride from Tyler said, "Don't bother mommy, he's not very good at watching out for those!"

This was Jake's pick of a pumpkin. I love this picture! It's such a Jake face! This look pops up frequently when Jake is getting ready to say something profound!

This was Tyler's love at first sight pumpkin! He wandered the whole patch after seeing this one trying to find one he liked better. He couldn't, so we came back for the can-you-pick-it-up test. I had to give a 4 fingered assistance but he did it!

Then it took two of us to get it in the wagon! That was one big pumpkin! I think we're going to have to draw straws to figure who has to gut and carve this one!

Victory! We all found pumpkins! This little one was Brian's! We'll just have to look forward to next year for him to lift a big one for himself!

Mommy and Jakey with the pumpkins.
Yep, we still like each other!

Can anyone guess who's pumpkin this is? Doesn't it just look like something I would fall in love with?! You should see how "Kelly" this pumpkin is! If I could find a way I would preserve it and decorate all year with it! And no, I'm not going to carve it!

Here's one of the few posed pictures in the "cute" area we got.

My cuties! Jake was in the process of telling us how cold he was. It's really too bad it wasn't warmer, they have the cutest spots to take pictures!
