It's that time of year!!

It's Pumpkin Patch time!! When I was overseas, I always wanted to take my kids to the pumpkin patch. It just seemed like such fun!! I am so thankful that we got to take these two munchkins this year!! This time we didn't go as a family though, instead I went with some other moms and their little ones. We had so much fun! (And Clark wasn't at all sad that he didn't have to go, ha ha!) We started out the morning by playing in the small bounce house and riding the tractors (though they were too fast for me to get a picture on the cute tractors!)
Then we moved on to the petting zoo. They loved being able to feed the animals. And I loved knowing that these animals wouldn't hurt them because they are touched by children all.day.long!
Jack had no fear, he had to be doing everything the big kids were doing.....
and that includes trying to climb OVER the fence...boy do I have my hands full!
Here is my sweet boy....running away from me! :) When we got off the hay ride, he kept yelling "ball, ball" He was overjoyed to see so many "balls". He kept picking them up and dropping them. Oh my.....
Oh and here is a picture out of order....(sorry!) In this picture, he is trying to climb through the fence....


And here is my sweet boy picking out his pumpkin
Can't leave out this sweet girl!!

And so that concludes our time at the pumpkin patch. I had high hopes of getting a picture of them together...nope, not gonna happen! While Sadie was out in the patch, she decided to run away from me and not come when I called. So, here I go sprinting through the patch after her and all the while Jack is throwing a tantrum on the ground because I had left him. After I chased Sadie down and got her to come back with me I get approached by a sweet reporter with al.com. She had taken a picture of cute little Jackson throwing a tantrum and wanted to use it online. So, I said sure and now my boy is famous :) Check out the link if you haven't already seen it on FB. He is such a sweet ball of energy always keeping me on my toes!!

And so completes my 3rd post of the week! I am most definitely on a role....let's see how long I can keep this up :) Tomorrow we are gonna paint our pumpkins, maybe I will take a picture of that :)

Laura,
Hey we had a pumpkin adventure yesterday...picked out pumpkins out of a truck on the side of the road (with at least 30 people crowding around asking dozens of questions) and came home and painted them. Not the greatest nature adventure or artwork involved but fun just the same. So fun to see your BIG kids! Cannot believe how much both of them have grown. Loved seeing your pictures! Blessings, Kelly J.
