Gotta Get the Pumpkins

Halloween is just around the corner, and this means we had to go hunting for pumpkins.  Typically, this means we head to Dimler's farm because it is 8 minutes away and they have a bounty of pumpkins. 

Yes, you read that correctly, I live 8 minutes from a bounty of pumpkins.  This year though, we pulled up to Dimler's and to our dismay there was a sign that read:

Due to a very wet Spring, our pumpkin crop did not come in this year.  You are more than welcome to walk the patch and if you find a pumpkin, you can have it for free. 

Those Dimler's, always honest and providing value.  You can get a dozen ears of fresh grown corn for $2.50.....and they knew that a bad pumpkin should be free. 

Unfortunately, the pumpkins were really bad.....so....as she always does...my bride had a Plan B.  "I think I saw a pumpkin patch 8 minutes the other way from our house" she said. 

You read that correctly, apparently we have TWO pumpkin patches within 8 minutes of our house. 

So we went.  And I am not ashamed to tell you, we have a new pumpkin patch.  Because not only were the pumpkins great.  But there was this:

That's right.  This pumpkin patch had wildlife as well.  There was also this little friend of Ashley's:

And although I did not get a picture....I swear to goodness sakes out of the brush came a Pomeranian hopping like a rabbit to play with the kids.

These are my girls:

This is my littlest when she got too hot:

Contrary to when she is too cold:

Whether they are hot, cold, petting cats, or keeping track of their younger sisters....I love my girls.....

So many females......

If you don't have kids.  This is what a 9 year old birthday party looks like.

Because my oldest let her younger two sisters participate, I love my girls.
