The Great Pumpkin Patch 2007
No School on Monday. Lauren's actual birthday. It is sunny and warm...let's go to the Pumpkin Patch! Ten minutes after we get there....downpour. We run to the barn and wander around shopping for more Halloween decorations (and anyone who has seen our yard knows that we don't need anymore!) until it stops. Luckily it only lasts for about 20 minutes. Back outside to sunny weather and quite a few puddles. William is as drawn to them as any child. We try to get the kids to pose for pictures that we take every year. Does anyone know how hard it is to get 3 kids to all look at the camera and smile at the same time? Umm...I think this is the only picture that even comes close! We went on a wagon ride around the pumpkin patch this year. It was very relaxing. I know that in a few short years Lauren will not want to be seen with her family at a pumpkin patch, so I savored every splash in the puddle and every frustrating attempt to capture their pictures. They just grow up too fast!
