A perfect pumpkin picking fall day

Today has been so great. Landon and I picked Parker up from school and we went over to the little red barn to pick our own pumpkins. I made the mistake of buying pumpkins at Walmart for the boys and they were NOT too thrilled about it. "But....but I want to pick my OWN pumpkin like in BOISE MOM!"...followed by nonstop crying and whining.

The red barn is so darling and even though it wasn't QUITE as much fun as Linder Farms and there were NO delicious mini-doughnuts....we enjoyed it very much! I think my favorite part was the fact that it is an honesty policy as far as payment goes. You pick your pumpkin and your veggies and you pay the black lock box in the front of the barn. How neat to live somewhere where people have trust like that.  Awesome.



Parker picked a green pumpkin (squash) and called it a "PICKLE PUMPKIN."

I picked the smallest pumpkin in the whole field. I figured no one would ever choose such a small and insignificant pumpkin. $1.00 for a teeny tiny itty bitty pumpkin??? Worth every penny....we ALL have worth right??


On the way home we saw some friends heading to the park. We ran into ANOTHER friend while we were there. We played and played in the sun of a cool crisp October day until someone had to go #2. We had to high tail it home. Isn't that always how it goes? 
A beautiful day. Can't wait for my sis, mom and grandma to come this weekend!
