The Perfect Pumpkin!

Last Saturday we set out on our annual quest for the "Perfect Pumpkin". Shaun and I have made it a tradition to get pumpkins every year since the year we were first dating around the end of September. We always seem to pick out big pumpkins perfect for Jack-o-lanterns. It usually takes me a second or two to pick out mine but it ALWAYS takes Shaun FOREVER to pick one! It has to be perfect. Well, this weekend we realize the kids, both Christopher and Anneli take after him! It took forever!! Christopher had a hard time picking out his "Perfect Pumpkin" he picked one and then changed his mind. Anneli wanted every one and couldn't choose just one! Finally they each chose one and Shaun and I carried their heavy pumpkins to the cashier at the little farm/orchard. On our way their Christopher changed his mind and saw the "Perfect Pumpkin"--it was huge! His "perfect pumpkin" weighed in at just about 30 pounds! Anneli's pumpkin was about her size 25 pounds or so. We hauled them to the car and the kids fell asleep on the way to eat! A perfect pumpkin picking day! :)
