The Pumpkin Patch

Time for the Pumpkin Patch!!!
My family looks forward to this time of year for many reasons...the leaves changing colors, the crisp, cool air when the temps drop, watching football, cooking chili on the stove, and going to the Pumpkin Patch! We love it! For the past 3 or 4 years, we've made it an annual thing to go to the patch together-dad takes off work, and we all go with the kids preschool. Every year, it's alot of fun. Every year, it wears us out! Every year, something new happens. And now, this year is no different. Hear me when I say, it's just wrong, I REPEAT-WRONG for it to be 90 degrees in October!!! Just last week, it was so cool at night, it crossed my mind to put an extra blanket on the bed...and now, it's so hot I was on the verge of melting while searching for the perfect pumpkin (2 perfect pumpkins, in fact) for my perfect pumpkins! Why did I dress us all in bluejeans????? BECAUSE IT'S OCTOBER! But, you would think, living in the south like we do, I'd be used to it by now...I guess it's just wishful thinking. But, we survived, even if I had to peel the clothes off us when we got home! (And it's a miracle we made it home, because yes, I LOST MY KEYS WHILE WE WERE THERE! Thank you to the dear soul who wanted me to go home today and turned them in!!!) We had a great hayride, the kids played in the "jumpy things", my little girl was able to ride the ponies-her favorite thing, and a local Fox station was there doing a story and interviewed my dear darling and 2 of her friends...who knows what they'll actually use on the air, but it's supposed to be shown on the news next week. All I know is my girl was acting like a ham! She did a great job! When the reporter asked what she was going to be for Halloween, she said "Hannah Montana!" and started singing the theme to the show! "You get the Beeest of both worlds!" I know I'm prejudice, but she was so cute! What did I expect, right? Hehe! I can't wait to see the news segment! My baby is a star!!
