Pumpkins!

We love fall in the McPherson household! Not only doe sit mean that college football is in full swing, but it also means pumpkin EVERYTHING! Pumpkin in soup, pumpkin in desserts, pumpkin smells around the house and pumpkin decorations:) Since Andy's schedule does not have a lot of free time in it, we weren't able to go to the big pumpkin patch to look for pumpkins and do all the fun fall festivities. Luck for us though, the local Montessori school had pumpkins set up on their lawn, to mimic a pumpkin patch, for sale. So, we went down on Saturday (after my 12 mile run!!) and picked out pumpkins.

MC was more interested in the gourdes;) 

MC finally found a pumpkin she liked, but there was no way she was going to let go of her gourde!

Kendall found 2 pumpkins...we convinced her to get a bigger one too;)

searching for the "perfect" pumpkin

this is what I did the whole time...hold up a pumpkin for the girls and say, "how about this one?"..."um, nope"...

aaaaand, Kendall found one...

Alley carefully chose "the perfect" pumpkin for her

aaaaaand, we are definitely rednecks...our car is in the background;)

Since I'm not really into carving, we always paint our pumpkins. the girls love this and I love that it doesn't make a huge mess:)

everyone hard at work
