When we got home from the pumpkin patch Sunday evening, I was puttering around cleaning up things (as there are always things to be cleaned up around here..) and I decided to check Zakkai's school sheet detailing this week's field trip to the pumpkin patch.
To my chagrin, I realized that we were headed to the exact same pumpkin patch! I think we would've chosen a different one this weekend had I known!
Nevertheless, Z was very excited over his field trip today, especially since Little Sis and I accompanied him...even on the bus ride.
Z buddied up with 2 preschool pals, Brady (whom we carpool with) and Myles. All 3 boys have a little sister around a year old:)
We got to do a few different things, thankfully, like the hayride! The boys were enthralled...
Everywhere you looked there were sneaky creatures in the trees, like this owl family:) Some were silly like Big Bird and Miss Piggy and others were more sinister like ghosts and bats and skeletons (the parts of Halloween I don't like at all!)
Z also got to check out an orange tractor that he had his eye on Sunday. It was free today:)
The future engineers.
"Hey, Zakkai! Look at me!" close enough...
Biscuit sacked out for awhile, which was nice:)
Posing for one last pic before we left on the joyous busride home. Oh so joyous. Z and I are pretty tired tonight!! :)

And finally, Ben and the boys continued their annual tradition of carving up our pumpkin with a silly face. After much debating over scary vs silly vs scared pumpkin faces.....I am happy to introduce you to "Cross-Eyed Jack," formerly known as "Alexander."
Ready? Light's out!
Arrrrrghhh.
You want pictures? You got pictures! I spent a very aggravating 45 minutes or more at CVS trying to empty my memory card onto CDs and, with the oh-so-helpful...help from the miserable employees, I managed to clear not even half of the camera.
BUT. But I did empty enough to go picture crazy today! So that should make up for the lack of color in my posts lately;)
Today we met Samuel's best buddy and family at a Pumpkin Patch!
They don't look too happy but I promise you, they were!
Sweetness.
She loves to reach her hand out to us now and show us her toys or just touch us:)
The smiles are getting a little better...
I just love this picture! I love the look of adoration on E's face when she looks at her daddy:)
Pure bliss.
Samuel riding the pumpkin train..
And that's about all I could coax out of Zakkai:) Typical. I should've told him I did not want a picture.
My favorite 3 guys in the whole world!
Love this!
The boys taking a ride in their cool car;)
Strong boys showing off our carefully searched for pumpkin! Ain't she a beaut?
Attempt at a family pic! I don't care that only B and I are looking~we're together and that's what I love!
Loving touching a pumpkin for the first time. And super tired:)
Can't take her hand off the pumpkin!
Three buddies:)
It was a fun day to get out and spend a little time with friends. It was a good memory for us, too, because last year we visited this same pumpkin patch mere days before our sweet girl joined our family. As a matter of fact, that very night her legendary saga of a labor began...(hence the pumpkin patch pics being posted a couple weeks after we actually went:)
Soon to come will be pics of our newly carved pumpkin....when it gets carved that is.
Last year our pumpkin was named Suzie and this year it has been dubbed "Alexander" by Samuel:)
