It's The Great Pumpkin!
We took Robert out to the pumpkin farm this morning. At first, he was pretty overwhelmed by the whole thing:
After Robert gave up on the birds, Emily explained to him what to look for in a pumpkin, mostly that it not be too heavy. (Dad added that it really shouldn't be too dirty, either.)
I think this one is too heavy and too dirty:
"But wait! What's that one over there?"
Robert found a patch of smaller, cleaner pumpkins.
"What about this one?"
"I've got it!"
A boy and his pumpkin.
Once we had selected the pumpkins -- including one for Peanut -- Robert wanted to see if there were any other birds he could chase. He normally speaks fluent "turkey," but refused to do it on camera.
So he sat and watched them for a while instead.
We picked up some mums on the way out, and thank goodness we had brought along someone who was willing to pull the cart!

Robert is getting SO grownup. Isn't he fun? Everything is a wonderful new adventure if you see it through his eyes. You are all missed very much.
Wow! I'm scared to death of ginee-hens (and can't spell). Robert will have to protect me from them! And he did indeed pick out the perfect pumpkin! Great shape, perfect size, and color :)
