Pumpkin Patch

Today we made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. We went to Bob’s Corn, a farm in Snohomish (btw, spell check wants me to change Snohomish to Gnomish…love it!) that we’ve been taking the girls to for the past 3 years. M&L loved the hayride out to the pumpkin patch, where they got wheelbarrow rides as well. We brought home more pumpkins that we had people because the little ones always seem to find “one more good one!” While Kevin took our loot to the car, us girls played hide-and-go-seek in the pumpkin patch. Next weekend we’ll hose off the muddy pumpkins and do some decorating. Lila has told me that she wants to paint her pumpkin, “Red, and yellow, and blue, and red. 2 reds.” So a lot of red, I guess. Mary wants to “Stick it with lots and lots of stickers.”

Also, Lila has a big scrape above her left eyebrow. You actually can’t see it in most of the pumpkin patch pictures because she never, ever, EVER looks directly at the camera for me. And if by some fluke she actually does turn her face to the camera, her eyes are usually closed or there’s a big pile of hair blowing across her face. Here’s a look at her boo boo (notice the averted eyes and ponytail in the mouth?)…I’m hoping it’s healed before our family pictures which are coming up in a few weeks!
