Every year I look forward to Fall. I do love the summer, but by the end of August I'm ready for cooler weather. Although fall doesn't exactly = cooler weather these days. In addition to the cooler weather, I associate this time of year with my little girl's birthday. Its hard not to when we spent Halloween 2007 in the hospital with a baby who was only 12 hours old in a pumpkin costume. From that day on, she's been my little punkin.
So far this fall, we hadn't done much as far as fall/ Halloween goes. We haven't decorated the house. We haven't even debated/ stressed/ worried about a costume for the little one. We're just using a cheerleading outfit we bought for football season. Easy peasy. So far we've been busy planning a birthday party. (I started to panic when I saw Halloween stuff in Target months ago. It was a reminder to get on the birthday party planning!)
Well, yesterday I got out of work early (woohoo!!) and decided it was a perfect day to visit the pumpkin patch. We had already purchased a pumpkin from Albertson's but we had to go to the pumpkin patch and fake it.
Phew...this is hard work!
This one looks good.
Who needs a pumpkin when there's a jumper?
After searching through pumpkins and jumping (and yes, I'm in the bouncer too. We had fun!), we headed to the petting zoo. We bought a cup with food to feed the animals and as soon as we entered the gate we got attacked by billy goats or whatever the heck they are! So we didn't spend that much time there. So not our thing!
Next stop: Grandma's house!
We went to visit Grandma, Uncle, and Starr the dog.
Enjoying her hard work.
Then while the cupcakes were baking, we decided to carve the pumpkin we got at
This is the face I get when I tell her to smile. As soon as I laughed, she started laughing.
She liked the battery operated tealight we put in there.
Her "punkins!!!"
After carving the pumpkin, a quick bath, and a change into some pj's it was time for a cupcake.
The girl's got her momma's sweet tooth.

Cortney I cannot belive how big she is getting! I remember emailing you seeing if baby has come and how you are feeling. She is too cute for words!!!
How cute. What a good girl to actually pick out a pumpkin, unlike Aidan who only liked to throw them. Ahhhh, girls.... so much easier :)
