Pumpkins

Mason and I went and got pumpkins on Wednesday afternoon. We didn't actually go and pick our own pumpkin. We live in the country and within about 5 miles of us there are 3 little roadside stands. There is no one there to take money, you'll notice the gray box in the left corner of the photo. On it are the prices and PLEASE PAY HERE. On this day we got there about when the kids that lived there were getting home from school so the owners were out in the driveway. Being Iowa we chatted for a bit and Mason picked out his pumpkin. We were getting ready to leave we had already put our money in the box and the owner decides that we need one more pumpkin. He brings over this huge pumpkin, it comes almost to Mason's shoulders. It is in this photo to the left of the scarecrows head. It is huge. The price on the top of the pumpkin is $4.25. Austin was pretty shocked. Evidently he had been to Orschlens and looked at pumpkins but didn't want to pay the $5 for a little one the size that Mason picked out.

I just love these little shoes. Mason finally grew into them.

He looks so proud of himself. I think this is the only photo I took there that he would actually look at me so I am really glad that he is smiling.

I got home and put Mason in the living room while I unloaded the car. I am putting away groceries and notice how quiet it is. No wonder he is sitting in my chair trying to eat some candy that his dad forgot to put away. Mason did end up getting one unwrapped and ate it in the highchair after I put some play clothes on him. I figured after he worked so hard to get it unwrapped I couldn't not let him eat it.
