Pickin' Punkins..


We went "punkin pickin" today...at least that is how Carson says it. We always just go to this little roadside stand about a mile or so from our house. It is called Days farm and we LOVE it. This is where I get all of my fresh veggies in the summer, and most importantly our corn on the cob. Delicious!! Now that summer is over, they get all of their pumpkins out as well as haystacks and cornstalks you can buy. I always get a cornstalk to set out by my front door to go with the rest of my decorations.


Carson was so funny..he kept picking the absolute ugliest pumpkins. He would walk over to us carrying one, and Thiago and I would just look at each other like "huh". Seriously, it was like he was trying to find the most mangled, demented, offcentered pumpkin he could find. We would say "oh yeah thats a good one" and then the minute he turned around we would put it back.


Me and my little punkin...Carson is holding the pumpkin we got for Lincoln. It is so cute, cause I have 4 steps leading up to my front porch. One for each of our pumpkins, going from biggest to smallest. It made me smile to see 4 pumpkins this year instead of just 3.


A little boy in a sea of pumpkins!!



Here is Carson guarding our pumpkins on the way out. He needed to sit right next to them with his little arm around them, just in case someone tried to snatch one of them. Too cute!

That's so funny he picked out ugly pumpkins, he is usually so into picking pretty things. I am so happy too that you have four little pumpkins this year as well, now baby Lincoln just get here already. You have an aunt that is sick and tired of waiting for my two new babies.

Cute pumpkin pictures. I am being a slacker this year I still don't even have any pumpkins. Tell Carson he made a good choice I like his pumpkin.

Hey! We did the combo package and it was 10 for kids and 15 for adults, but I went online and got the $2 off coupon. It was really fun, we were there for about 4-5 hours.
