October 26

We finally headed out to the pumpkin farm today. Those two pumpkins we picked out weighed a combined 115 pounds! They're awesome! As always, Alex was being uncooperative for pictures. He was PO'd that he didn't get to pick a pumpkin - he thought that each kid should get one. I explained to him that Caty and Billy didn't pick one, either, but he wasn't hearing it. Anyway, Bill is teasing him in this picture, trying to get him to smile.


You'll notice that we are all in our jackets. It was a cold, blustery day as evidenced by Caty's hair blowing around. The temps were only in the 50s and we had recorded gusts over 45 mph. At one point, a precipitation front moved in at we had a very brief snowshower. UGH! In October!?!?

Loaded up and ready to go. We brought the dog along just for the ride in the car. You can get a pretty good idea of how big the pumpkins are when you see them next to the (standing up) dog.

Jake would be totally jealous of those pumpkins. We only made it to a shitty farm, so no pumpkins were gotten, and then bought 4 at the grocery store last night, but they are far from HUGE.
