Sunflowery Day at the Pumpkin Patch!

What a perfect day to go to the pumpkin patch. Being so busy and all I almost didn't take Dennis but I knew how much he wanted to ride the school bus. All he could talk about was the bus. We ride that bus. I go big bus like everybody. Where is the bus? That bus? Hold my hand on the bus-- kay? It was so cute.


So I guess you can say the pumpkin patch was the icing on the cake. It would have been fine with Dennis to just drive around for a little while and then get dropped back off at school. LOL-- but like I said, the pumpkin patch was an added bonus.

Dennis wanted me to take lots of pictures of him and I wanted to take lots of pictures so there was no fussing about me asking him to say Cheese!

The sunflowers were so beautiful!


I am not sure if you could see, but bees were busy buzzing around the flowers.

The children were allowed to pick out a medium sized pumpkin. It was hard for Dennis to choose. He wanted one with a handle and one that he could carry. All I wanted was for him to choose a white one. Finally it came down to me telling him to pick between two.

He was going to pick the orange one but it was too heavy so he chose the white one! At least I took a picture of him holding the orange one. :)

Right before we headed back to school I saw this inching its way across the grass. What a fuzzy, little caterpillar.
I enjoyed all the colors of fall so much that I think we might try and plant our own pumpkins next year!

Lovely pictures, Christine. Those sunflower ones are just beautiful. We're going to the pumpkin patch in our neck of the woods tomorrow with our homeschool group. I hope when you move down south you guys can participate in a great group like we've got here. It really is a blessing!

Pumpkins are great to grow! Not too hard, and so many great recipes to cook with them - pumpkin soup is our families favourite.

Hello :)
I'm posting from Poland. I'm reading Your blog from the time Dennis came home.
I have to admit, that You have a beautiful family and of course Dennis is adorable ^_^
I love Your new home. In Poland, I couldn't afford one, even if I worked whole life on it ;P Just a flat...
In the future I think I would adopt a child. Thanks to You. You showed me, how a whole family can be brighter and happier with a new brother/sister.
My favourite movies about adoption - posting a link to youtube to see trailers:
