Look What We “Growed”

I looked out of our kitchen window at lunch time and spotted something amazing…

Can you see it yet?

At first, I thought David put it there as a joke.  I can’t believe we grew a pumpkin this big!!!  But sure enough, it was attached to the vine!  I felt it pop off when I gave it a tug.  Jack was so excited!  (I feel bad leaving Will out – he was there, but he didn’t seem as thrilled as Jack and I were…)IMG_4604

Jack explained to our neighbor that “the rain growed it.”  We took it to our front porch and attempted a cute photo.  Jack’s showing me his teeth after I asked them to smile.

Here are a few other shots of future pumpkins… hopefully!!  Did you know the pumpkin comes from the flower?  Neither did we!IMG_4607 IMG_4606 IMG_4605   Come pick a pumpkin from our patch!  We’d love to see you!

  1. Update: The pumpkin was "planted" in our garden by our next door neighbor, Bill. Best practical joke ever!
