we found the great pumpkin

i know this might be crazy, but today i finally went to the pumpkin patch! for the first time EVER. fall is my favorite season so i’m not really sure why it took me so long (25 years) to get to one, but it finally happened. the pumpkin patch did not disappoint! i found the cutest little pumpkin and i’m excited to carve it.

ok question, what sort of pumpkin do you look for when you’re picking one out? do you go for the tall skinny ones, or more of the short round ones? i personally love the round ones, but i feel like a ton of people prefer the taller ones. i also love the cute little mini ones! those are probably my favorite. i always go overboard and buy a ton of them for decoration. if you follow me on instagram, i’m sure you’ll see the finished project once i carve this bad boy. i’m super excited!

after we found the perfect pumpkins, we got some hot apple cider and donuts! they were SO good. cider is my favorite though, so it never disappoints. my boyfriend when the extra mile and bought a homemade apple pie. i’m usually not a huge fan of apple pie, but this one has carmel drizzled on the top and it looks soooo good. before i get to the photos from today, i wanted to introduce to you my new series on words are for writers:
