We had another successful trip to the pumpkin patch. Tractors, pumpkins, wheelbarrows, hay bales, corn maze, and petting zoo – what’s not to love? Crew set his heart on the largest pumpkin he could find. He couldn’t quite pick it up, so he settled on using the giant pumpkin as…
It wouldn’t be fall without a trip to the pumpkin patch. We procrastinated till the end of the month and then the temperature spiked to over 100 degrees. Sweltering through the patch didn’t sound appealing, so we waited until Halloween Eve to carry out the tradition. Ironically, it was cold…
We tried to get our whole family to the pumpkin patch several times during the month of October. Things kept popping up and company kept filling our weekends so we didn’t actually make it to the patch until 4 days before Halloween. If it wasn’t for tradition’s sake, we might…
Preschool friends combined with a field trip to the pumpkin patch put Crew into pure excitement mode. His enthusiasm for just about anything makes him so fun to be around. And what little boy doesn’t want to go on a tractor pulled hayride? Finn wasn’t sure about the bumps and…
For the first time in seven years, we had to break our fall tradition and try out a new pumpkin patch. I was picky. It couldn’t be in a mall parking lot. It had to have a corn maze. It had to be an authentic patch with rows of pumpkins….

Last weekend, we went on our traditional fall family outing. This was the year of Nash vs. the pumpkin patch. It all started with a plump pumpkin that Nash set his sights on. The only problem was, it was much too heavy for a three and a half year old…
We finally made it out of the house (felt like the first time in a couple of months) to absorb a little fall ambiance. We have a favorite little pumpkin patch that we’ve taken the boys to for the last four years, so we couldn’t let the month pass us…
Sometimes I wish I could be a fly on the wall and watch how Blake interacts with his friends at preschool. I wish I knew if he was respectful with his teachers and how hard he works at the “centers.” I wish I could be in on those triumphant moments…
We made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. There were tractors. And a corn maze. Nash was all about collecting dirty ears of corn. One can probably guess what happened next. There was hay throwing. Which naturally led to reprimanding after one older brother got hay in one younger…
