Pumpkin Pickin'

I am back again, I missed a few days because I was not feeling well. Before I came down with whatever this virus is, we did manage to have a pretty good Saturday. Matt and I, along with a few others, took the kiddos to a nearby pumpkin patch. We had told Addy a few weeks ago that we would be going, and she had been excited ever since! It was finally pumpkin patch day, and she even had a pumpkin patch shirt! It turned out temperature wise to be pretty nice, we just had to deal with the wind. Apryl and Alexys went for the largest pumpkins they could find, while both boys and Addy went for the smallest. Addy has practically adopted her pumpkin. She is calling it her baby pumpkin. She is sleeping with it at night, and toting it around with her everywhere. I will hear her say, "come on sonny!" Not sure about the name, but she likes it! I don't know if we will be able to actually carve the pumpkin she picked since she is so attached, it might hurt her feelings. The boys on the other hand, were not as easily impressed. They both held a pumpkin for about a minute, and when they realized the pumpkins broke when they threw them hard enough, that is what they did! If they could pick up a pumpkin it was only to throw it at another. I was lucky to get any pictures at all! They didn't seem too fond of all the walking either. We did get to stop by the petting area, and Garhett fed a calf some hay. That was really sweet, both boys love to be around the animals. It was cute to hear them doing their animal sounds when they saw animals they recognized. It was a good time, and I even snagged a bit of hay for the boys' costumes!
