   One that the kids can pick up by themselves?!? I personally like one that sits flat, so when you carve it, it doesn’t fall over!

   I think you just look for the one that “Calls” to you 🙂 You will know it is perfect for your family once you see it–or your 3 yr old sees it. LOL!! Sorry no genius tricks for you. I also like them to sit flat for carving.

   I let the kids pick their favorite pumpkins, the only thing I tell them is to look for one that sits up straight enough that they can decorate 🙂 Other then that they usually have very specific ideas about what they want to find!

   We always had four pumpkins that sat on our front porch that I let my youngest Alex pick out… He picked out 4 that looked like each of us:
   ~ a short round one for Bill
   ~ a taller thinner one for me (I love my little boy!)
   ~ a medium size one for Nikolaus
   ~ a little one for himself
   The last two got progressively larger each year, as the boys did.
