at the pumpkin patch

last monday, my mom and i took evan to a pumpkin patch. one of the elementary schools here has a super cute and really well run little pumpkin patch in their front yard and we headed over there for evan's first chance to pick out his very own pumpkin.

first, we let him play in the big pumpkins. it was just a sea of pumpkins out there!

he really was super interested in all of the pumpkins.

but then mimi brought him a perfect little pumpkin she found for him, and he fell in love! he carried that thing around the rest of the day. (and still carries it around)

so we picked out a couple more pumpkins for matt and me, paid the nice man (who gave evan some jack-o-lantern stickers) and then saw there was a cute little place to take pictures. so we made evan "pose" for us, and this is the best one we got.

not very cooperative, but still super duper cute!
