Our trip to the sweltering pumpkin patch


Happy Halloween!!!!

Ok not yet, but close enough. Katelyn had Tuesday off of school so we, and our playgroup hitched up the wagons and took off for a pumpkin patch about 45 mins away. I had bought these halloween shirts after season last year and was not going to let any opportunity to get my .75 cents worth out of them.


So even though it was 92 degrees (yes, this is Oct. in SC) I dressed the girls in their festive shirts. And like a good mother brought short sleeve shirts along just in case they started to melt. And yes these shirts are indicative of me...CANDY CORN QUEEN!!!


Miss Martha at the pumpkin patch was so wonderful, she had her staff paint the kids faces, almost all chose cats, and hitched up the trailer and truck for a hayride. The girls also fed goats cheerios, (Anna loved this), and threw the cheerios at the pigs.

Then we picked up our pumpkins while watching out for red ant beds. This pumpkin harvest experience differs greatly from past years...we were minus the coats, gloves, hot chocolate and snow....Toto, we're not in Utah anymore...
We hope you all have a wonderful Halloween...
