Pumpkin

A few weeks ago Rebekah spied some pumpkins outside of the local grocery store.  She wanted one.  

She tried to take matters in her own hands.  

Literally.

But she couldn't quite heft the said pumpkin. 

A few days ago while on a walk, Rebekah informed me that she wanted a pumpkin and grandma was the one who was going to get it for her.  After we returned home I informed grandma of Reka's desires.  It was decided then and there that we would visit a pumpkin patch.  

To prepare for this trip I asked Rebekah if she wanted a BIG pumpkin or a LITTLE pumpkin.  She said "little."  I expected that to change, but she knows her own mind.  When the day came she went straight for the little stack. 

Sifting through

She found one she liked

So many pumpkins

So little time

Look at that one over there!

But this is the one she liked the best.

We found another pumpkin patch on the way back home

Complete with rocking chairs - one for mama and one for Reka

This time Reka went for a gourd 

And although she found lots of little pumpkins to admire

the gourd was never too far out of view 

A pumpkin and a gourd: 

all a little girl needs for happiness.
