Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the pumpkin patch in Flower Mound. If you haven't been there, it is a ton of fun and completely free! They make their money selling pumpkins and, obviously, you don't have to buy one. It's hard to believe how much LJ has changed since we went last year and he was calling them "punks." And Miss Kailey was in my tummy last year when I was chasing a two-year-old across fields of pumpkins! I went with my accountability group girls and their kids, although we were missing Julia, Emma, and Addie! LJ was very disappointed not to see them. It was fun and hot. Hot seems an odd mixture with pumpkin pictures, but that's Texas for you. LJ picked out a big pumpkin and two little ones for a fall project at home, and he picked a really good one! He looked all over before he decided! He is really proud of his pumpkin and couldn't wait to show Dad. I'm going to totally sound like one of those crazy moms, but Kailey definitely said "pumpkin" today (it was more like pu-pin). I didn't believe it at first but after it happened three times and only when she had a pumpkin in her hands, I finally decided I wasn't crazy. She had a blast! You can see all my pictures online at http://gallery.mac.com/john.critz#100044.

"Pu-pin. Yeah!"

Mommy pulled the huge pumpkin and two kids back to the car in the wagon. Whew!

Sweet girl! It's hard to believe she was in my tummy a year ago!
