Pumpkin Patch Day

Nice air Kate. Sam wouldn't step on these trampolines. He is such a scaredy sometimes.


Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point last week. This is our fall tradition. Our kids were so pleasant, even despite a bit of chilly weather. They wanted to play on these wooden vehicles most the time.

Kate did say her favorite thing was the princess dress up cottage.

And we quickly got some pumpkins too. The kids had trouble picking one out. Kate kept changing her mind. In fact, I took this picture of the pumpkin she had finally decided on, but then she changed her mind again. Sam didn't like any of them because he said they were all to big and heavy for him. You can see his face below and that is the smallest one we could find.

We ended the evening like every year, with burgers from JCW's. Marianne did so well. We were out for 5 hours, and she was mostly content, except when we left the restaurant to go the car. I think the cold just put her over the top and she was screaming up a storm after that.

For the record, Jake, Marianne and I were all here too. We just don't have any pictures.

I just am finding that three kids- including one strapped to my chest- is more than enough to keep track of when we go on outings. So I have been leaving my SLR at home and taking along an old point and shoot we have. The pictures are not as great, nor as numerous, but it works. Perhaps less pictures even gives me the opportunity to enjoy the activity a little more.
