Pumpkin Patch and Pictures

We took a break from all the home improvements this weekend (it was kinda forced due to waiting time on the grout) to go to the pumpkin patch with Laura and Grandma! It was piles of fun. Laura walked and walked the aisles to find her perfect pumpkin. We ended up with 3 pumpkins: one Daddy sized, one Mommy sized, and one “little tiny pumpkin” Laura sized.

Laura would run from pumpkin to pumpkin. She would stop at a pumpkin and say, “I found one.” We’d respond with, “Do you like it?” She’d then say “Nope,” and run to the next pumpkin she found acceptable.

Laura also loved the haystacks that were there.

She turned her “little tiny pumpkin” that she carried on her lap the whole way home, into a Jack-o-Lantern, or as she says a “Pumpkin Patch” when we got home. When we told her it was too small to carve she improvised. She worked on it for 15 minutes to get it just right. She kept erasing with a licked finger. Here she is showing it off.

Laura is taking marvelous care of her “Pumpkin Patch.” She puts it on the porch in the morning and brings it inside in the evening when it’s “too cold” for the pumpkin.

We also received all our ordered family pictures, got them in frames and hung/arranged them in the family room. Laura loves being surrounded by family and so do we.
