Jack-O-Lantern




I visited a pumpkin patch to pick out my very first pumpkin! I had never seen a pumpkin before, so I ran around the patch yelling "BALL! BALL!". Mommy and Daddy QUICKLY explained to me what pumpkins were as I was picking them up and throwing them...I guess throwing pumpkins is against the rules.

Picking out the perfect pumpkin is not as easy at it seems! Hmmm....where to start?!



SO many to choose from! I love them all!


I was immediately drawn to the ugliest ones in the patch.



After some persuasion from Mommy and Daddy, I decided to go with an orange one, but there were SO many! How would I ever decide???



I tested the roll-ability of several.



Some were WAY too big!


...and others were WAY too heavy!


Finally, I found one that was the perfect size for me! However, after more persuasion from Mommy and Daddy, I decided to look for one just slightly bigger for carving purposes.


Please?! Can't I just take them ALL???


After FINALLY choosing the perfect pumpkin, I got my picture taken. I had so much fun at the pumpkin patch!


A few days later, I had my buddy Collison over for a pumpkin carving party! After an appetizer of chicken nuggets and carrots (that we didn't touch) we moved on to the main course- HALLOWEEN CUPCAKES!!!


...and let the games begin! We aren't afraid to get our hands dirty!


Me with my pumpkin.


My party was such a success that we ended the evening with a big hug!


The finished product! I am so proud!

The Tree



Fall is the best time of year in Pittsburgh! My family has a favorite tree and it is the most beautiful tree in the city when it's leaves start to turn.



I am awe of it, looking at all the beautiful colors of Fall!




WOW!



My view of our tree.



I loved playing in the leaves with Mommy!


...and hide-n-seek with Daddy!



...and running through the crunchy leaves!




I had so much fun!


MUCH more fun than last year!



Here is another picture of me last year under our tree.

...and one more from last year.


Here we are under our tree this year!
