October 7, Thursday

In case anyone out there was wondering what would happen if your toddler hides their sippy cup of milk in a cabinet and you don't find it for a few days...

 This is your answer. Super.

PuMpKiN PaTcH!!!
Elliott as a redhead

 Samuel as a pumpkin

 She thinks that he looks pretty funny. She doesn't realize that it looks like she is walking a dog with that leash in her left hand. So what would be in her right hand? A nice big bag of dog poo! At least all he has to hold is a lollipop.

 That's right..pretend like you aren't interested so that it is even more interested in you.

 She had been talking about pumpkins all week and neither Andrew nor I know where she got that from.

 Samuel was about as excited to be here as Elliott was the first time.

 He didn't even want to sit on the tractor.

 Too bad I am still bigger than him and so I get to make the rules.

Elliott loved "driving" the tractor. 

 She would touch where a horn should be and say "beep."



 She was not happy that hay had gotten on her hands. She cleaned them off and then showed me for approval.

 And again with the excitement.... (Notice that we picked a gourd that looks like him with a small head and great big body. Weeble wobble anyone?)

She is so excited to finally live the pumpkin patch dream. 

 Looking for a pumpkin to take home with her.

 I'll take this one.

 He wouldn't hold his head up because of the shame from the hat.

 Elliott was excited about the petting zoo.

 Like that view?

 She made friends with a goose. She thought it was a duck so she kept saying, "duck, quack quack."

 Time to pick a pumpkin. *The big ones are farther out.*

Playing in the hay maze

 Gotcha, Daddy!

 Someone looks a little tired.

 Waving bye bye to the pumpkins.
