Pumpkins!!

We have a pumpkin obsession going on in our house right now. It just so happens that, every time we go just about anywhere in this little city of ours, we happen to pass by a local market, which turns into a pumpkin patch this time of year. So, every time we drive by, the car is quickly filled with squeals of “PUMPKINS!! PUMPKINS!! PUMPKINS!” And then sometimes, when Morgan isn’t quite satisfied with the speed at which I drove past the pumpkins, she will scream for “MORE pumpkins! MORE pumpkins!!”, until thankfully, I pass by another grocery store that has been gracious enough to put some large pumpkins on display for us. Thank goodness.

So, earlier this week, we decided to have a little family night out, complete with dinner and pumpkins. The girls could not have been happier. They both picked out their own little pumpkins, perfect size for each of their little hands, and each held their precious pumpkin possession on their laps the entire way to dinner, and later on the way home. With smiles on their little faces, I might add. :) With the exception of a difficult 30 seconds when Morgan realized that her pumpkin could not accompany her into the restaurant – it was a very fun night!


And little do they know that the BIG pumpkin patch trip is yet to come…next week we all get to go with Macy’s preschool to the pumpkin PALACE, complete with animals, a huge corn maze, and a gazillion pumpkins. I cannot wait to see Morgan’s face when we pull up to that place!

p.s. Doesn't everyone insist on going to the pumpkin patch with a skirt on and sparkly Hello Kitty shoes??
