Again at the Patch for Some Pumpkin Pickin'.

Because we are the coolest parents evah we took the young and privileged Merritt children BACK to the pumpkin patch to choose their perfect example of pumpkin goodness to hack open and disembowel. Then eat. After sitting in their carcass.
What can I say. We're a fun family.
Hmmmm... How to sit in the wagon..........?
Like this?
Or perhaps.....
Like This??
( Raegan tests this pose as well. Votes "NO")
Kael disregards Raegans vote.
But chooses to compromise anyway.
Kael is so impatient. He picks the first pumpkin he sees and attempts to load it in the wagon.

Daddy and Raegan discuss the various options.
I do nothing. But see! I was there!
A perfect specimen is chosen.

Kael performs the "sit" test and declares this pumpkin a "go".
Raegan concurs with her own choice.
Much excitement ensues.
Posing for the perfect pumpkin patch pictures is voted out.
Pictures of pumpkin perfection ( as viewed by toddlers the world over because duh.. they are big.) are loaded, as are the expert judges, and home we went!
Soon! Pumpkin art! And goo! Stay tuned.....

Yay for you, Jen! We did the giant pumpkin thing last year but ran out of luck this year and couldn't find one big enough! So we'll settle for two smaller versions this year and get out and hunt us a pun'kin earlier on in the season to score a big one. How fun! Be sure to post pictures!!
