The day began a tad chilly, but we had a plan.  Well…mama had a plan and everyone was required to fall in with said plan, or mama would be unhappy.  Life is just better for all involved if mama gets what she wants. 😉 

We were going to the Pumpkin Patch.  I have these visions of the children joyfully going through the pumpkin patch and excitedly picking out their dream pumpkin.  Then going home and decorating their own personal Jack O’ Lanterns for Halloween.

In reality…Kailan had a decent time, I think.  He picked out his own pumpkin, which was a size that he could carry himself.  Anya just wanted to be held and suck her thumb pretty much the whole time.  She did get down on the ground long enough to point to the biggest pumpkin she could find for daddy to carry.

When we got home, there was no pumpkin decorating since that would require the forthought of having supplies to decorate the pumpkins.  Maybe I’ll remember to pick up something this week…
