Gourd Day To You

Okay. So is it really a pumpkin patch when it's just a truckload of pumpkins offloaded into the Presbyterian church yard? I suppose not. But the boys didn't seem to notice the lack of authenticity. They were thrilled to get to pull the wagon through the yard and hunt down every species of gourd available. They were especially enthralled with the pumpkins that had bumpy growths. Boys.



They also spent almost as much time begging to use the camera as they did hunting pumpkins. Grant took this one...

Not bad for a 4 year old! And no, Jaden is NOT throwing some evil Hook 'em Horns hand signs. He's the Aggie child, remember? See the post below this one if you have no idea what I'm talking about. This is what he calls his 'rock on' hand sign.




I LOVE the itty bitty pumpkins. They are just so darn cute!

So, have you noticed anything about J in these pics so far? He's not only sitting still for pics, looking at the camera, and being generally cooperative, he's actually SMILING in most! This is a BIG deal!! For the last 3 years this child has spent an inordinate amount of time running from the camera and perfecting his blank expression that covers the pages in my most recent scrapbooks.


And now, I'll leave you with a giggle...


Happy Fall!

I love it. Thanks for the encouragement, maybe one day Hunter again will smile a cute smile, not a goofy one, and Janae will actually smile too!
