It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year: 10 Photos of Precious Peony Picking Pumpkins

By Meredith Carroll |

Pumpkin picking with kids

Pumpkins, people. It’s time to pick the pumpkins. And the apples! Oh, the apples. Check out what my sister Petunia and I (you know, me, Peony) did this weekend. (Hint: There were lots of pumpkins. And apples.)

  • Mush, Daddy! Mush!
    To the pumpkin patch!

  • Hooray for no walking!

  • Pumpkins as far as the eye can see.

  • Good decorations? Yes. Even better chairs? Yup.

  • Holy cow, you guys. There's even more pumpkins over here!

  • Get your motor running.

  • These are good times, people. Good. Times.

  • A Petunia among the Red Delicious trees.

  • Someday those apple trees will be mine, I tell you. Mine. Mine. Mine.

  • But for now, they're all mine.

    Adorable family! I love the picture of your oldest girl sitting on a pumpkin. Ha! My daughter does the exact same thing. You can kind of see her sitting on it in the FaceTime picture in this post. I want to get one of her sitting on a pumpkin every year. I’m such a dork. Why are parents such dorks about photographing their kids with pumpkins? http://somebodysparents.com/2012/10/no-sword-to-the-gourd-october-3/#comment-2396

    Thanks, Amy. Yes, I don’t know what it is about kids and pumpkins, hundreds of photos later (from just one day), I can attest to the fact that there’s definitely something about it. :)
