My Little Pumpkin



Ethan had his school Fall festivities on Wednesday. He was so excited that he was going to pick a pumpkin to bring home. He played toss the hula around the pumpkin, an obstacle course with jump the haystack and finally a pick your pumpkin out of the patch game. All the kids stood in a large circle and one at a time had to run around the circle and then as fast as they can pick a pumpkin and get back in the circle. Of course, Ethan was the second to last to go. He had already shown me the pumpkin he wanted, so with every kid that picked a pumpkin he eagerly watched hoping they wouldn't pick his. When it was finally Ethan's turn to choose, he ran as fast as he could to grab it. He was so happy that his pumpkin was still left. He grabbed it up and hugged it tight, he was so happy. When all the kids lined up their pumpkins in the hallway, there his was the smallest of them all, that is the one he wanted. He said to me that he wanted the baby pumpkin, it was so cute.
