Pumpkins

We tried 2 different days to go to the Pumpkin Patch, but got rained out one and the other day we had to choose between nap time and going, so needless to say we opted for naps.  Since the weather hasn’t been the best, we thought we would go to a more local pumpkin patch.  There is a church here that sells pumpkins every year as a fundraiser.  The kids were very excited cause we have passed by this church many times and they always admire the pumpkins.  They were very excited to actually stop and look this particular day.  Lil Lu was easy to please.  Eli found the one he wanted to moment we got out of the car, but it didn’t have a stem.  It was one of the few white pumpkins they had and that was all he was interested in.  After carefully looking over the whole patch, he quickly came right back to the one he originally picked out.  The nice ladies working the check out gave both of them a sheet of stickers to decorate their pumpkins  and the kids loved it.  I have to say, as much as I enjoyed the real pumpkin patch last year, it was nice to do our pumpkin picking so close to home.
