To begin my story, we (me, Maddox and Maggie) went to the pumpkin patch with my mom, grandparents, aunt & uncle, and my precious little cousin Ethan.
Maddox loves playing with Ethan, he says they are "Best Frems"!!
Maggie wasn't thrilled about sitting on the HAY! I think she is kind of a city girl. (So this is the only picture you will see of her)
While there, we take this exciting hayride to the pumpkin patch and on the way I am thinking, selfishly, about the beautiful white pumpkin that I am going to encourage Maddox to pick. When we arrive I am immediately drawn to the white pumpkins. "Oh Maddox, look at how beautiful these are!! They are so pretty and WHITE!!"
"Well, Mommy, I think I need to look at ALL of the pumpkins first, before I chose one." he says.
Being the Mommy that wants everything on the front porch to look "perfect" I am not overly excited about what he picks up and then says...
"Mommy, this is the one I want. I LOVE IT, IT IS PERFECT!!!"
Seriously??
If your wondering if Maddox's pumpkin made an appearance on our doorstep (well, here you go)....
Please notice the stem. Isn't it pitiful?? When Ethan saw "the chosen one" that Maddox had so carefully selected, he said "Maddox, I don't think that one is going to make it!" I must say that in my mind, I agreed with him.

I blogged about our trip to the Pumpkin Patch last week where Ali absolutely INSISTED on finding a white pumpkin - She ran past all of the perfectly fine looking Orange ones to find "white punkin". We should just trade. . .although I'm not sure that I want Maddox's tie-dyed pumpkin either. ;)
Thats funny. Maggies pumpkin looks perfect. I like the white ones too, but I went with the traditional orange ones. Good news is there is hope for Maddoxs' pumpkin. The only ones we could find had green on them, but being 9 months pregnant at the time I was to tired to care! Well the pumpkins rippened, and lost all of their green and now are the most perfect orange color!
okay, i laughed out loud at your commentary and conversation.
sweet maggie. as avery would say, "God love it."
I think it's sweet that Maddox picked the different pumpkin. Something about that makes me think of love for everything, regardless of the way it looks. Kids are so precious!
