pumpkin time :)

Hi.

I have a blog. I have really neglected it. Can't you tell? The last time I wrote in it was 4.5 months ago. Oops. Anyways, my sister-in-law erika frequently likes to remind me that I should write in my blog. So this post is for you erika. Happy now? haha.

Now that the niceties are out of the way, I can get to the whole reason why I even decided to write a blog post anyways.

In case you didn't  know, it is September and next month will be October. October means Halloween, pumpkins, and all kinds of fall goodness. Even though it is only September, I have already gotten our pumpkin for Halloween. The reason I got it so soon is because I really wanted one and also because I wanted to take pictures at the pumpkin patch before it got too cold. That's right folks! I live in Vermont where it gets cold and it is getting colder as each day goes by.

Last year for Halloween, I bought a pumpkin at a local apple orchard who also happened to sell pumpkins. I tried to carve it but it did not turn out well. Instead, I just took pictures of Timothy with the pumpkin.

 This year for Halloween, I decided to not even attempt to carve a pumpkin but instead do something a little different. First, we had to go and get a pumpkin at the local pumpkin patch. I had never been to this pumpkin patch but I decided it would be fun to try it out. As it turns out, this was the first weekend that they were offering hay rides to the pumpkin patch. We definitely were not the only people there. Smart people think alike. Ha! I would love to show you pictures of us on the hay ride but those pictures turned out not to be so flattering of me so we will just skip ahead to the photos at the pumpkin patch part.

Timmy was very intrigued by all the pumpkins and enjoyed walking around. I also tried to get in some family pictures. That basically means that I brought our nicer camera and our tripod to the pumpkin patch. Ha! Here is a picture with the lil bambino and dada.

After the picture with dada, we then had to get a picture with the wee babe and me :)

Lastly, we got some family pictures too.

I think that this will be the end of this post. Next time, I plan on sharing pictures and talking about the actual decorating of the pumpkin.
