 Pumpkin Patch 2012

For the record:  the girl had three Halloween shirts and I couldn't find a single one.  Dirty clothes, perhaps?  Oh well, she still had fun!  Her friend Sarah was there too--they are about three weeks apart and have been having so much fun together!  I have to ask her mom for permission to post pictures of our weekly adventures...

Cousin Joshua joined us and my favorite memory will be how I asked them to count the smashed pumpkins and they started off walking up a hill as I was snapping pictures. . . and trying to move the stroller--next thing I know, they are at the top of a hill and I am yelling to stop and wait for me.  They continued (shocker, I know) and then I couldn't see them at all any more.  I had to pick up the stroller and run, calling out to them.  They had come to the edge of the patch and were standing at the fence watching cars drive by.  Those two. . .I tell you. . .trouble in the making. 

For the record:  Yes, big kids we went while you were in school.  With all this talent show stuff ,  homework and conferences. . .it just worked to take Janessa.  We bought you each pumpkins that you can carve and I hope you aren't too heartbroken. . .but mama had to do what mama could do!
