Pumpkin patch 2009

On the day before Halloween, we finally headed to the Pumpkin Patch! We had had plans for awhile to go with a big group but had been postponed due to all of the rain around here - and it was the final day of of pumpkin season at Berry Patch Farms! It was originally supposed to be a group of about 75 moms and their babies - but, on the day we went, only 6 of us were there with our little ones (15 total) and as soon as we pulled into the pumpkin patch the rain greeted us there!! It was quite the experience, but a fun little group - I hope to add more pictures later! We ended up just taking the hayride around 2 times (it is covered) and not getting out to see the pumpkins. There were only a few left anyway and some that were left were broken, etc. :) Afterwards, we stayed and picnicked under cover and got VIP treatment since we were the only ones there and the owners/workers were excited it was the last day! Despite the rain, we had a lot of fun - hopefully weather will cooperate better next year! One thing that made me laugh about the experience was that Ali refused to sit down if there was a speck of dirt so borrowed our sweet friend, Webb's baby blanket to sit on (thanks Webb!). Rhodes, on the other hand, was literally covered from head to dirt in mud from running off from me and getting into trouble! Her sweet little monogrammed bloomers turned from white to brown in the span of 10 minutes! :) The little differences between these two crack me up and keep me entertained - in lieu of all of the chaos!

Rhodes and her friends Lottie and Webb - who are about 3 months younger than her! Can you see the dirt/mud/water on Rhodes' sweet candy corn dress?

Happy Fall!!
