My oh my, slice me off a piece of your pumpkin pie.

Guess where we went today?

It kind of looks like we might have stopped by
the junk yard to visit Fred and Lamont Sanford
by the truck in the above picture
(I know you have to remember Sandford & Son--you big dummy!
Aunt Ester took this picture for us.)
But no, we didn't go to the junk yard.
(Are you enjoying that theme song?)

We went to the
pumpkin patch!


We had such a good time.

We hung out with friends.

We got to pick a pumpkin.

Even Baby J got his own little pumpkin.

There was a little train ride
that my children would have stayed on all day long.
They were content to ride all over the property
and the man driving the tractor was so nice.

We all came home dirty,
but the boys seemed to especially enjoy
the opportunity to embrace the filth.
There was a huge pile of dirt.
Personally, this holds no appeal to me,
but my children were drawn to it
like moths to a flame.

Look at these nasty boys.

We had a very lovely day.
It was so nice to come home to the crock pot
who had been slaving away all day.
I'm going to cook some carrots and broccoli
and we'll have a great dinner to bring this
great day to an end.


Just look at these babes of mine:

I am so blessed!
