We went to go pick out some pumpkins today! We were kind of waiting for the prices to go down, but they just didn’t this year. So we just said forget it and went to the grocery store. They were pretty picked over when we got there. The giant mound of pumpkins that had been in front of the store was now just some pumpkins on the ground with lots of foot space in between. It was also SUPER windy, so we wanted to get this over with quick. Each kid got to pick their own. Kyle talked Lydia into picking a small golden squash instead of a pumpkin, so I picked out a pumpkin for her to decorate for Halloween. I also picked out Adam’s.
The bigger kids weren’t so easy to please and took more time to pick out their pumpkins. The cold wind didn’t help as they spent most of the time trying to bundle up as they peaked at the pumpkins that were available.
They all eventually found a pumpkin they were willing to call theirs and we went inside to go buy them. One of the store employees saw our load of pumpkins and said “Wow! That’s a lot of pumpkins.” My response was “Well, one per kid!” 🙂
