The Play Group Party

Robby is in a sweet little playgroup and I was lucky enough to have them the week of Halloween. It was great! I was tired at the end but it was all worth it. They are so creative and try so hard.

Our favorite pumpkin patch!

Since my sister in law introduced me to pumpkin patches 2 years ago I have decided to share in her tradition of going to a pumpkin patch and taking video and pictures and buying the family pumpkin and jumping on hay bales. well this year scheduling seemed to be a little bit of an issue. Since most of them are only open on saturdays and I wanted the pumpkin to last through Halloween I decided on the weekend before Halloween which also happens to be full of other activities such as Giff and Giffs birthday! Happy birthday boys and stake conference, not to mention a few other activities that couldn't be rescheduled. So, I decided to look for one close to home and found this one. Wendy was so sweet and came along (after making sure Giff was taken care of of course) to be my personal photographer. It would have been crazy without her.

This was Robby's favorite because it was a "big huge giant pumpkin!"

What a bunch!

But then natalie began to be suspicious because I had told them it would be a long drive and there would be animals, hay rides, treats, tractors, corn and pig races.

When all she saw were pumpkins and shopping carts she questioned us. So I must confess we decided not to drive 45 min. to have super awesome pictures and feed the animals and instead went down the street to whole foods where they have a whole pumpkin patch scene set up. Robby continued to be happy and Natalie was soon swayed (bribed) into liking the pumpkins because we told her we could take them home. All in all a great trip to our locally grown and set up pumpkin patch.

I wonder how much longer I will be able to get away with this makeshift pumpkin patch. Little innocent kids are the best!

The colors of fall add so much! I am so happy we are into the holiday season. Thanks again Wendy and Giff for helping me out all the time and making my life so much easier. You ease my burdens so often.

Finally a new post

Ok, so it has been a while, but I have been reading all of your blogs and loving them. I also found this contest for a free stroller and because we are expecting ANOTHER BABY i realized that I am going to need a double stroller soon and I knew I loved Chico gear and a side by side stroller so this came at a perfect time. Check it out.
