Punkin'

pumpkin boy, originally uploaded by Reid Pierce.

Allow me to break the ice. Now that October is officially here, blogging moms across the country will be posting pumpkin patch photos until we have seeds coming out our ears. Despite the fact that it was 80-degrees here today and nothing like an apple-cider sipping fall outing, Sawyer and I hit the local fall festival complete with hay ride and pumpkin patch. While this photo seems dreamy, you should know that I was trying very hard to get Sawyer to look at me, but I couldn't peel his eyes away from the two older boys playing in a big sand pile nearby. Other highlights included meeting a real horse (nothing like our horsey friend that hangs over the changing table) and a potbelly pig that seemed to alternate between wanting to run from us and wanting to charge us. Photos of the animal encounters are on Flickr.. Happy Fall!
