I love fall,it is so beautiful. It has to be my all time favorite season. I love the colors, the smells,and the foods. This season makes me giddy. For some reason it also makes me travel down memory lane. Not sure why, maybe it is because some of my fondest memories happen during the fall. I also added a few more memories that I will most likely re visit in years to come.
We took the girls to a pumpkin patch for the first time this year. They had a corn maze, which was probably more fun for Paul and I then it was for the girls. After the maze we went to go pick out our pumpkins. Haddie, right off the bat, found a pumpkin her size, which made a becoming grumpy baby very happy. But the little pumpkin soon lost favor when Daddy put a HUGE pumpkin in the wagon. The look of awe was all over my sweet daughters face as she sat next to (at least in Haddie's mind) The Great Pumpkin and The little pumpkin was tossed aside.
We returned with 2 big pumpkins, pumpkin bread, and a pumpkin shaped surgar cookie. It was a successful day.
A few nights later we decided to carve these great pumpkins. What a great lesson for a 1 1/2 year old. Haddie wasn't sure what to think of all the gutting, but soon she dove right in and helped pick out the seeds from the gunky mess, so we could roast them later.
After our master pieces where created, we set them outside for all to see. Haddie was very interested in them and loved looking and talking to the pumpkins. This is until daddy made a noise that scared haddie and since then has not cared to talk to the pumpkins, silly daddy.
Oh, how I love Fall!
