The Perfect Pumpkins

By Daddy Forever in Fatherhood on October 24, 2007 : : 29 comments

We went to the pumpkin patch recently. What a difference a year makes. Last year, it was sunny and in the 70's at the pumpkin patch. This year, it was foggy and in the 40's. Last year, we picked nice, medium size, orange pumpkins. The kind you want to marry and spend the rest of your life with. This year, our pumpkins look like super market rejects. The type no one wants. No one except for our kids. You're thinking what I'm thinking, right? I thought so. My wife passed a defective pumpkin gene to our kids (I can get away with saying that today because it's my birthday. I'm 22 again.).

    I'm loving all of the pics, but that lil monkey and her onion are toooooooo cute.

    We had so much fun at the P Patch this year!

    hehe. No five days from the post. I'm a moron. I thought about that after I posted it. It's on the 29th. My MIL is a Halloween baby, though. That would be a cool bday!

  14. Sunrunner says:

    Happy Birthday!!! It makes your jack o'lanterns unique when you pick the odd ones! And white pumpkins are great for crescent moons. I'll post our pumpkin pics this week.

  15. Lovely. Those are some pretty adorable rug rats you've got there. Lucky boy.
