It's that time of year. I LOVE it. I love going romping through the pumpkin patches and looking at all of the pumpkins - pretty and not. It is amazing to me to see all the different shapes and sizes and know that each started as just a seed, but grew so differently. There are always some really gross looking pumpkins too - the ones that the animals have gotten into and they've started to rot. I can always see them from far away and it amazes me that the girls never seem to notice them - or at least never comment. Jn* is always in search of the BIGGEST pumpkin while Jh* knows what she wants when she wants it and just picks. It is so cute to watch them both process so differently.
Saturday morning we ventured out with several of our friends to a local farm. It was a cool, yet beautiful morning. The sun was shining bringing us some warmth. There were 7 adults and 10 children (all between the ages of 2 months and 4 years). This is where the NUTS comment came in. But realy it was wonderful. The kids were all wonderful and seemed to have so much fun!
Here are my two little cheeseheads posing for pictures! Jh* was not fond of the "weeds" in the patch. She kept getting her feet caught because she was trying to go to fast. So she plopped herself on a pumpkin and waited for everyone to finish! Jn* is just a big cheese and LOVES the camera!
Here's the whole gang! Little J* was so good in the snuggly! He even fell asleep and just relaxed as his sisters played and had a good time. Next year I'm sure he'll be out there terrorizing the place! Oh my! Watch out! I can't wait - it will be so much fun!
The girls LOVES the straw stack. They would climb to the very top and then jump into the pile below.
And then of course we had to ride the horses. My girls really love horses. And aren't they just so cute - the girls not the horses! :)
We left and ended our monring with lunch at McDonald's and then home for naps. Even mommy got to take a nap! Yeah!
It was a good day and B* had fun too. He doesn't always get to do these types of things because I usually take the kids during the week. But it was a lot of fun and will become one of our family traditions - even when they are teenagers and we have to DRAG their whiny butts out of bed! :)

looks like fun, what patch did you guys go to?
I love the pictures! Thank you for the ones you sent me as well! And thank you again for including us in your day. :) We had fun, even if some of us (ahem, me and Tessa) were a little tired and grouchy! :)
