many pictures, many pumpkins

Me and my very favorite little punkin!

One of my favorite fall activities is going to pick out pumpkins. This year was extra exciting because I got to take Max for the first time and we got to visit a REAL pumpkin patch and pick our very own pumpkins off the vine. SOOOOOO much cooler than buying them at Wall-Mart. Since the pumpkin patch is just a couple miles from my house, we have ended up making several trips.

Trip #1, Me and Kate
So much fun! Only one problem- me, forgot my wallet. Kate- only had a credit card. Since this patch doesn't give away free pumpkins or take credit cards, we had a bit of a predicament. We managed to get some great pictures of the kids though, which I guess is the most important part.

Max with the pumpkins I chose

Max really enjoyed sucking the dirt off the pumpkins, off his hands, and just getting messy in general. Such a boy. Disgusting but so cute.
Kate and Cameron. Don't be confused, Cam is borrowing Max's hat!
In front of the Peck Farms pumpkin Truck, which was chuck full of a billion pumpkins!
Max felt like he should ride in his orange stroller for the occasion. He is so festive.

Same patch second day- Me and Chelsea (plus Max and Lauren and Hallie)

Ah yes. Don't we all look so amazing in this picture!? Yikes. It was windy and so bright out. That's why we look so hot. My friend Chelsea came down with her ADORABLE twins Lauren and Hallie. They are so cute! It was a fun sneak peek into what's to come after your baby turns one. They make animal sounds, swap binkies, walk all over the place, and are just plain cute. It was so fun just catching up all afternoon and then running to the patch to actually BUY my pumpkins. Chelsea found some cute ones and even a couple mini pumpkins for the girls. Thanks for coming over Chelsea! We had a blast!

Trip # 3.

What? A third trip?! Yes. We took Daddy to the pumpkin patch with Max too so he didn't feel left out. We also went with our next door neighbors Natalie and Sid and their little girl Heather, who is just a doll. She is super talkative and had a full blown baby talk conversation with Danny! They also passed her story book back and forth during this conversation. I LOVE my cute husband and I love how sweet he is with all babies, not just our own! Afterward we had dinner together. I felt very lucky to have so much quality adult conversation in one day. I hardly knew how to handle it!

Our ghostly little family! Yes, my eyes are closed.
