Pumpkin Pictures

In honor of October, I will be counting down my top 5 favorite pumpkin patch photos of all time (or at least the 4 1/2 years that I have had kids.) I love taking pictures of my children. I especially love pictures of my kids with pumpkins. I am crazy about those big round orange symbols of Autumn. I have to force myself to walk away and not buy a pumpkin every single time I see one. I want them all over my house during this time of year. Naturally, kids and pumpkins together, in the same photo, is just about as good as it gets in my opinion.

So, here is my Number 5 in my Pumpkin Pictures Countdown


This is from October 2006. I love Ava's sweet expression. I also love the way the light makes the pumpkins look almost as if they are glowing. I can also see the sunlight in her tousled hair. It was a cool crisp sunny day in a field of big beautiful pumpkins. And Ava looked so cute in her funky striped tights. Yes, this is one I look back on fondly.

I love to see pictures of kids with pumpkins as well. Can't wait to see Numbers 4-1, because this one was just adorable!

I also love this season. I just spent $100 at Hobby Lobby on decorations for Autumn and Halloween.

I love this picture - Oh and I haven't decorated yet, but I intend on getting quite a few pumpkins, decorative and real, myself. My mom went ALL out and has all of the orange accented pumpkins EVERYWHERE. But it looks good and so festive :).
