Pumpkin Patch









Another wonderful thing to do with pumpkins...the pumpkin patch! What is it about these vegetabbles that make them such a crowd favorite. I cant put my finger on it. Is it their perfectly round little bodies, they're bright shades of orange, their sweet but not too sweet flavor, what is it? There is just something about a pumpkin that just makes you feel good! We had a great time at the pumpkin patch. We painted faces, painted pumpkins, rode a hay ride, and went through a maze, made of maze in the shape of Texas! Bennet was a crowd favorite, as he is these days in any crowd! He has turned into a huge ham, loves any attention that he can get! His new favorite is dancing. He likes to role it, with his arms and makes sure someone is watching to cheer him on!

Ok, I have been tagged by Erin, and Shasta, I know its taken me forever, so here it goes...

1.  When I was about 12 years old I had really really thick hair that my mom let me spiral perm a few times so as you can imagine it was VERY poofy.  Well I started hating my thick hair and asked my mom to cut it with thinning scissors.  So she got to chopping and before I knew it she had gotten a little out of hand and thinned a chunk of hair on my forehead.  For months I had only half of a bang, that we called feathers.  It was not a good look.

2.  In highschool I was very unmotivated and hated school.  I especially hated math and really sucked at it.  My mom got me a tutor that would come to our house after school.  Me and my friend Liz would hide from her in my parents office and watch out the window until she left.  I would then tell my mom that she never showed up.  I cant wait for the payback I get when my kids grow up!

3.  When I eat things like, raisenettes, cheerios, m&ms, etc I have to eat two on the left side of my mouth and then two on the right.  Its a little ocd but its just how I like to do it!

4.  I took ballet from the time I was 4 until I was 13.  I wanted to be a professional ballerina until I got on point.  It hurt soooo bad and was soooo hard that I quit.  Now Ella takes ballet and I secretly wish I could take classes again but I think I missed that boat already!

5.  I deeply believe that I have really pretty feet.  Apparently I have told a few people, when I graduated a friend of mine that had been my hair dressers since i was little, secretly took a pic of my feet, blew the pic up and had it framed for me.  My roommate and I hung it in our dorm along with a life size pic of our friend that went to a different college.

6.  My favorite season is Fall.  I love the colors of fall, the cooler air, pumpkins, boots, etc. 

7.  Along with Fall, I am obsessed with pumpkins.  I love to decorate with pumpkins, make pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin pancakes.  When I lived in College Station there was this ice cream place that made pumpkin ice cream every fall.  I literally went there everyday.  I have considered going there and buying a few gallons but am concerned it will melt on the drive back.  I'm really going to have to give that some thought.


On a different note, my sis is officially the parents of two little girls!!  They made it through court this past Monday and now they just wait for paperwork and then they can come home, yea!!!!

Poor Ralph...perhaps he will think twice before tangles with a porcupine.  I'm pretty sure its 1 to 0 porcupine in the lead!
