the punkin' patch



I love that Benson loves the pumpkin patch as much as i do. Im not even sure why i love going so much. But it has become one of our favorite little family activites. We didnt even pay the 12 dollars to have access to all of the games, rides, and activities in the back. We just picked out pumpkins. and had fun doing it.



As soon as we walked in. benson knew exactly what he wanted. He ran over to the wagon filled with small pumpkins. looked over them carefully. And picked out his perfect little $2 pumpkin. 


It was a tiny little thing.

I tried to convince him that he wanted a $3 pumpkin, which was a little bigger and a little more "husky" to match his body type :)  

"Here Benson, this one is just your size."

He considered it. picked it up. and then dropped it pronouncing that it was "too heavy."

So he went back to his $2 pumpkin. And never let it out of his sight.






He loves that little pumpkin. 



We brought it home. And it is now a member of our family. It stays indoors. Where Benson greets it every morning like it is a long lost friend... "pumpkin!!"

And throughout the day I will catch Bens and the pumpkin watching cartoons together. playing with cars together. and eating lunch together. 

I've come to love that little pumpkin too.
