Pumpkins

Our Little Man is a source of so much joy in our lives... 99% of the time, anyway. Today we went to Butler's Orchard in Maryland to get some pumpkins for Halloween. Last year, pumpkin picking was fun, but this year was a BLAST. I can't tell you how many times we heard "More (fill in the blank), please!" And, leaving was not a pretty picture - until the little man got a ride on daddy's shoulders to the car. What a good time we had, except for the reminders that we don't win any parenting awards today. We forgot his jacket at home (but remembered ours)... luckily I had an extra turtleneck (he was already wearing one), so we layered for warmth! :) By the way, it was a bit chilly and windy. He wore his hat, but looking at the pictures, not only did it not match, but I think it looked a bit silly - I still like the hat and he will be wearing it often this winter. And, don't ever walk by the popcorn vendor before lunch... that was pretty much all the Little Man ate for lunch... until it was carmel apple time! :) Like I said, no parenting awards today.
