punkins!!!

jon and jasper lilith went to pick out our halloween pumpkins this past saturday!  it was a gorgeous day and before i knew it, i was getting pictures of jasper being picky with her punkins!

amazing how pictures of your own kiddo makes the day seem brighter, isn’t it?

jasper lilith and a field of pumpkins intent on hiding from her!

she continues the hunt for the perfect pumpkins….  unsurprising to anyone that knows her; she was totally picky about which pumpkins were good enough for us 🙂

ah, ha!  she finds one!  it isn’t “just perfect” so she moves on even more determinedly!

but first she manhandles it a bit 🙂

a pumpkin for each of us with a small pie pumpkin for jon (and his annual Made-From-Scratch Pumpkin Pie)…

jon says that she decided that “orange was boring for a 5 year old” so she picked out a ghostly white pumpkin for herself…

the big orange one is jon’s and the green one is mine…  now that we have the pumpkins, she can’t wait to carve the jack o’lanterns!

she has to wait on that part, at least until it’s a little closer to halloween but i sure do love seeing them sitting out by the front door!
