Pumpkin Patch Fun

It's that time of year...Pumpkin Patch Day was this last Sunday...we made a break for it on probably the last sunny day of October! Kendyl, Sean, Kim and Grammy went along with us to Heiser's Pumpkin Patch..always a great place to go. Kendyl seemed to enjoy herself...well, mostly she just wanted to eat dirt clods and suck on her pumpkin stem, but hey, she was totally content!

I had to do a double take when I saw this picture...doesn't Jared look HUGE??? I seriously thought it was Jeremiah at first. The similarities are getting stronger by the day! As soon as she hit the ground, she was on a mission.
Here are the three cutest farmboys around, ready to get dirty and find a really BIG pumpkin. Amazes me, really, that the "competition" between MEN starts at such a young age! But, our rule is, if you can't carry it to the hayride, you can't get it. Seems to control the "Mine is bigger than yours" problem relatively well. And, it saves Jeremiah from having to wrestle mammoth pumpkins two at a time!





Kendyl, Kim, Grammy and I decided to hang out amongst the pumpkins while the guys went through the corn maze. She was most happy to slap her pumpkin and hang out!
The two younger boys are looking forward to dressing up. Justin is going to be a Motocross rider and Travis has plans to be Batman, but I am trying to talk him into being a lion. I have a great costume that I would like to get three kids use out of, but he says the fur "tickles his face" and he doesn't like it. Darnit. I will keep working on that one. And so, another year at the pumpkin patch has passed. Darnit again.
