After our first trip of the season to a gigantic pumpkin patch that we left without any actual pumpkins, we knew we needed to get them somewhere else, so, after school one day the week before Halloween, we made a quick trip to the oh-so-authentic patch on 19th Avenue in San Francisco.
This was a whirlwind trip. We were on a mission to get five pumpkins, and get back home in time for lunch and naps, but we still had to document this adventure with pictures, especially since Megan was wearing her super-cute school uniform.
First, we loaded up the wagon with girls, which Megan pulled exactly two feet to the nearest cluster of pumpkins. Did I mention how small this patch is?
Each girl picked a pumpkin (and then we ditched the green one when Mommy found out how expensive it was),
and Mary even hand-picked a baby one. She looks thrilled with her selection.
Then we plunked them on our front porch.

The yr I was pregnant, and in nursing school, my kid's pumpkins not only didn't get carved, but sat all winter in the garden in front of the front porch. By spring, there was nothing to them, and they were forgotten; untill pumpkins started growing in the garden! It was the absolute neatest thing! I was almost regretful that we carved them this yr :)
