With gorgeous fall weather here today...we HAD to go the pumpkin patch!! It is very hard to find THE perfect pumpkin. The girls spent at least an hour wandering around the pumpkin patch looking for the very best one. Daddy did a great job of directing the girls to each possible perfect pumpkin. However, sometimes even if you think you have THE pumpkin...it can be a false alarm!! And sometimes if the pumpkin is too heavy to carry, you have to find a smaller one!
RaeAnne found her pumpkin first, then she helped the other girls examine each of their pumpkins....of course, she told them "If this one is better than mine, I get to keep it and you can have mine." What a great big sister!! We started at one side of the patch and worked our way across the field. It was decided that we should have stayed on the one side because, of course, all the best pumpkins were where we first started! There was some back tracking to search, but eventually we walked back to the barn with our choices.
Now the great debate is on. Paint the pumpkins or carve them?!? I am thinking that we may have to carve the big one and paint the smaller ones.

I'm always just a healthy bit envious when I see pictures of your girls. You are so totally blessed.
