Picking and Carving the Perfect Pumpkin

Zach was so excited to take Aspen to find the perfect pumpkin. He found this place in Riverton that had rows and rows of pumpkins and he knew that would be the place. So a week before Halloween, we went Pumpkin shopping. When we got there, Aspen couldn't get out of the car fast enough. She found hundreds of pumpkins that she wanted. She had a really hard time picking just one for herself so we let her pick one for mom, dad and baby as well.




Then we had to carve the little beauties! Aspen was adamant about carving her own pumpkin with NO help. I was a little nervous but she did an awesome job. She did let her dad take out all the "gross" stuff. She didn't see any need for her to "touch" it. She is such a daddy's girl and Of course he loves it.

Before Aspen cut into her pumpkin, she made sure to tell it sorry. She has such a tender little heart. Her daddy loves that too. Okay, so does her mom :-).





So now that we found and carved our pumpkins...it was time to trick-or-treat!

Isn't it funny how all kids have to find the PERFECT pumpkin!... Aspen did a great job at carving those "slimey things." I'm going to hire her next year to carve ours.
