When we first got there, Bradley thought it was so funny that there were white pumpkins. So he decided that he was going to choose a white one.
Jaden wanted the biggest one he could fine.
Kaleb had a very precise idea of the "perfect pumpkin." He knew he wanted a white one, but it had to be exactly the right diameter. He had a measurement of about 10 or so inches, that he held out between the palms of his hands.
Picture him standing straight up, with his elbows down by his sides, but his forearms are bent parallel to the ground. His palms are facing each other, with his fingers all pointing forward. The distance between his 2 palms is about the width of his torso. Whenever he found a white pumpkin, he would hold his hands apart at his perfect measurement, and bend down to see if the pumpkin would fit.
He probably went through 20 or so pumpkins before Charles said, "Kaleb! I see it! It's 3 rows down, next to that lady's foot!" Kaleb saw it. He didn't seem convinced. But when he walked over to it and performed his standard test he was amazed to find... it was PERFECT! He was SO excited to have found the perfect pumpkin.
They all took turns pushing the wheelbarrow.
These next 2 pictures show what Bradley liked to do over and over... in public. A little hip thrust action.
So picture him thrusting forward and back, forward and back. Yeah. We had to tell him to stop. Haha! Maybe that's his happy dance??
As Charles paid for and then loaded the pumpkins into the car, the kids had a chance to play on the tractors.
That night the kids gutted their pumpkins. Then they each drew on paper what they wanted their face to look like. Then Charles and I did our best to copy it onto their pumpkin and help them carve it out.
Ready for Halloween!
