Pumpkin Patch

Well, it never fails that we pick the hottest day in October to visit the pumpkin patch!! But, it was Saturday and Daddy was home so we decided to head out to Tom's Farms for some family fun! They really have a pretty little patch that is perfect for little kids. It was a gorgeous day even though it was HOT!
We tried to get Leo to sit here to get a picture but he is scared of everything these days and thought the scarecrow was a monster....so this childless picture will have to do....sigh. It would have been so cute!
Anyway, back to the pumpkins.....Leo LOVES anything to do with pumpkins right now. He is almost 3 and so excited for Halloween and Trick-Or-Treating!! He is going to be Buzz Lightyear this year and Aiden is going to be Woody. We watch Toy Story probably 2-3 times a week. We like Disney movies. They keep him occupied. Don't judge me......Anyway.....This is the pumpkin he picked out and that was fine with us because it was easy to carry and it was $1. He loves this little pumpkin and wanted to sleep with it for his nap that day, lol! But he settled for putting it on his dresser where he could see it while he was in bed. He's such a cutie! He just got his hair cute the day before too.
Poor Aiden was tired! He was a good boy though! He hung in there with us and smiled the whole time! I dressed him in overalls since we were going to the pumpkin patch and he looked the part! He is such a love!!!!
Another picture attempt.......
And another melt down because he didn't want his picture taken.
He was also afraid of more "monters", lol!!! Again...he's almost 3!
Leo is quite impressed by spiders these days so I had to get a picture of this harry fella that greeted us when we walked in.
After we got our lil' pumpkin, we walked around. It was so pretty there. We had to go see the water and the merry-go-round.
We didn't ride the merry-go-round but Leo and Daddy rode the choo choo train, of course. Leo plays choo choos every day , all day! Aiden was getting fussy so I took him to find a shady area and rest. The boys had fun on the train!
Little brother finally fell asleep and we were all hungry for lunch. So.....
We ended up here! We love Chick-Fil-A! It's good, it's clean, and the employees are super nice! Oh yeah, and they have Coke Zero (my fav)!!! We enjoyed our lunch and let Leo play in the play area for a while. It was a good day!
Of course this is just our first trip to the pumpkin patch this year. We are going with Mrs. Kim and the kids from day care in a few days! Stay tuned for that post. This is such a fun time in our lives! Happy Halloween everyone!!!!

  1. Yay! This was such a fun post. I think every year I have melt downs with the girls. It just seems to be what they do, haha! The pictures that you did get are great! We've been to the patch once and now I think we'll hit the Tom's Farms patch this weekend with Daddy, if we get to it that is...

    So glad to see you updating the good ole blog! Cute background too by the way, so festive!
