Pickin' the Perfect Pumpkin

Anyone who knows me, knows just how much I love fall. I love the weather, the smell and oh yes.... Halloween! Halloween is by far my favorite holiday. So, when October first came, I got out all my decorations and went crazy.
One day, I grabbed my camera, picked the kids up from school and we headed to the pumpkin patch. They had no idea where we were going. When we got there, the kids were so stoked they didn't even bother closing the car door. As we walked to get our shears, Addy instantly went to climb on the hay stacks. They had a little maze made out of the hay stacks and leave it up to Addy to not find her way out. So, she did what any kid would do and climbed over the top!
We were on our way out to the patch when I realized Collin was well on his way to finding that perfect pumpkin. Addy found one that was closest to her just so she could go back to the maze and finish it the right way. I picked one for myself and Cody, but Collin, he wasn't about to pick one that was just ok. It had to be the right shape, the right color and most of all it had to be the right size. Not too big and definitely not too small. Just as I was about to tell him to hurry up, there it was, he had found it.....The Perfect Pumpkin.
