Pumpkin picking

The kids finally have their pumpkins! I say finally because Alex has been asking to go and get pumpkins for a good 3 weeks now. Ever since he saw one sitting on an overly-excited neighbor's step - he keeps asking when we can get ours. This is also the kid who picked out his and Lauren's Halloween costumes weeks ago. And now, he's already talking about Santa and looking at toy magazines and asking when Santa is going to bring him that stuff - he's a marketing dream come true. So, we went one evening this week and the kids were able to pick out their own pumpkins - they did a great job and were very excited about the ones they picked - even Lauren got into it!
