Today was the perfect fall day to go to the pumpkin patch!! Crisp and chilly but with beautiful sunshine. Our playgroup went to Massab Acres today, a little tiny seasonal greenhouse/nursery that has the biggest pumpkins in the fall. Seriously--they sell them by the pound, and the chart on the wall had prices up through 189lbs!! Anyway, a few of us went there last year and I got a great picture of Alex sleeping in between the pumpkins--he was only 3.5 months old--so I was hoping to get another great pic of him this year...yeah right!! Each time I would get him in a good spot he would move away just before the camera clicked. Oh, well, he's a toddler. The pics in the slide are the only ones I got of him where he is even looking remotely in the general direction of the camera!! We had a great time, even though my boy went with a fat lip. He fell this morning before we went and hit his lip on the corner of the dresser, so it was all red and swollen. He obviously had a great time, despite the injury, as he ran up and down the rows of pumpkins, talking very loudly to nobody in particular. I tried to get him to bounce in the inflatable pumpkin, and he did for a minute, but then he hurt his finger and cried and wanted out. Oh, well, flexibility is our #1 friend at this stage of life. The girls and the kiddies all piled into my place after the pumpkin patch and we had lunch, cider, coffee, and desserts. The kids played very well together which was a triumph, and the moms had some fun mom-talk!! We really do praise the Lord for good friends!!
Here is the pic of Alex at this time last year!! I LOVE this photo!
