Yesterday morning, before General Conference (one of the advantages of living on the East Coast - conference doesn't start until noon) we went to the Farmers Market and got our pumpkins. Jarom was very particular, and wanted to get the biggest one that he could, but I made it a requirement that he had to be able to carry it himself, so that limited the options. Phew! :o) Taran kept changing her mind, first picking a white one, then a tall skinny one, and finally ending up with the small round one.
Kelcey wanted one that she could carry, that was "just her size", so she ending up choosing a multi-colored gourd she could handle with no problems. I gently tried to steer her to an actual pumpkin, but she had made her choice, so that was fine. For some reason the kids also wanted a couple of the decorative "mini-pumpkins", and since they were only 50 cents a piece, we gave in. We also got a large pumpkin for Mom and Dad to share. When we got home Jarom and Taran arranged them on the porch. As they did, Jarom was so sweet, telling me that the biggest one was for me and Jeff, the next biggest one was his, the little one was for Taran, the multi-colored gourd for Kelcey, and the two gourds were for Benjamin and Becca. "Becca" is the girl's name that we were thinking of, in case we had a girl, and we are holding it in reserve for the next pregnancy. Anyway, I thought that was really cute.
