Our Pumpkin Patch Trip 2010

The Friday before Halloween, we took the girls to the Arboretum's pumpkin patch. It was a beautiful day....not too cold, not too windy, and not too hot!

Ready to go!

She's definitely my laid back baby.................most of the time! :)

We tried to get a cute picture of the 2 girls together. But again....why do we try? :)

As I was looking through these pictures last night (for the first time)....I couldn't help but smile and laugh a little bit about them. It's like......the girls are in their own little world.....and we're all just living in it. Haha!


So....as I am sure it is no surprise....I am posting all of the pictures to show are attempt at getting a picture of our girls together. And I love them....




I'm sure Parker was talking about something 'over there' and Grace is probably smiling/making a funny face it me...because, more than likely, I am making a funny face at her.

Parker's really been into twirling her hair lately. Wondering if this is a nervous habit? I do notice that I may do this on occasion.....but only when my hair has been straightened....which is rare.


Now here we go.....Parker in full swing....Grace playing the drums on the pumkin/squash......







This face just cracks me up....

Maybe this one would be the best of Parker's eyes weren't veered off to the side...and she didn't look so....umm....nevermind. :)









And I try really really hard not to forget to take pictures of them by themselves. I remember going through my baby pictures for our wedding video.....and there were a lot of pictures of me with my brother and sister, but not really a lot of me. I see how this happens....and at no one's fault.....but I still want to try.

And I think this is pretty good of her, too. Not too, too cheesy? Hey....we take what we can get from our 3 year old!


But I think this might be my winner. No- it's not the best picture ever. But for some reason....I just really like it.

And here is Geoff taking video of.....I can't remember. I'll need to upload those videos. Someday.


And I can't help myself. I am loving BabyLegs. And I got her these pumpkin ones. She wasn't actually supposed to wear her BabyLegs with this dress....she was supposed to wear her black leggings. But on this day- we could not find her black leggings, and so we gave up.


I'll tell you- I have been having trouble keeping up with my kids' clothes lately. I get them all clean....have trouble getting them put away.....then can't find what I want when I want it. Oh- and sometimes one kid's clothes ends up in the other's.

I digress.

We took their pictures pretty much right when we arrived....then we went to the hay maze (maze of hay?). Grace loved being able to stand up and eat play with the hay...

And Parker enjoyed running around....

....And throwing the hay....


And kudos to Geoff for taking this great picture (in my opinion!).
