Little Pumpkin

Hello blog buddies! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Ours was pretty low key but we did take Preslie to one of the local pumpkin patches for a little family fun on Friday and wanted to share a few pics with you.

She's going through a "I can pick up ANYTHING no matter how big it is" stage. It's pretty funny to watch!

She was pretty serious in her picking...not just any old pumpkin would do!

Here, again, trying to get one that weighs more than she does. This pose reminds me of one of those Pr.ecious M.oments posters. So sweet. :) It would have been even sweeter if her mom could take a decent picture and didn't cut the top of her head off! Ugh.

The farm had an actual pumpkin patch for the kids to pick their own in addition to the pre-picked ones. We had to take a short little hayride to get to it and P loved that. She sat in Mike's lap and made 'vroom-vroom' noises like the tractor that was pulling us.

She was pretty interested in the hay and called it 'weefs'...her version of 'leaves'...which I thought was pretty smart (of course I thought it was smart...I'm her mama! ;p). We have lots and lots of 'weefs' in our backyard right now and she loves playing with them...just like she did the hay.

She really loved the pumpkin patch! She ran and laughed and picked up all the little pumpkins that she could manage.

This is one of the little 'punshons' (as she called them) that we ended up with. I don't know what made it so special to her but once she got it, she didn't want to let it go!

When we told her that it was time to go get back on the hayride, she started picking up all these pumpkins and handing them to Mike. She didn't want to take them...she was cleaning up! SO funny!!

We all had a blast, especially Miss P, and I got to check one more thing off of my list of things that I finally get to do as a family. :) I know, I know...I'm a dork but sometimes I still just can't help but believe that she's mine!

Of course, we frequently have 'those' times when I wish she was someone else's... ;p

In all seriousness, she's an incredible joy and we usually have a wonderful time together, just like we did on this outing. She had so much fun playing with the 'punshons' and the 'weefs' and the other kids that were there that we'll definitely do it again before the season is out.

We finally have a 'fall' picture of us as a family, albeit a terrible picture that makes it look like I'm poking her in the throat, but it's a keepsake nonetheless. This was an wonderful day with my wonderful little family, bad pictures and all! :)

This picture was one of my favorites! Happy Fall, Y'all!
