On Monday afternoon, we took our annual trip to the “pumpkin patch.”  It’s actually just a bunch of pumpkins lined-up at Forest Hills United Methodist Church.  Butterfly was in charge of picking out our pumpkins this year.  Prior to our arrival, she let us in on her strategy. “A BIG giant one for daddy, and itty-bitty, baby one for Ladybug and a medium-sized one for mommy.“  We asked what she would do for one for herself and she simply stated “well, it will be smaller than the medium-sized one, but bigger than the itty-bitty one.”

Upon our arrival, Butterfly helped identify the perfect pumpkins to represent our family.  Ladybug found much joy in patting the big ones and picking up as many small ones as she could.  The bumpy ones intrigued her for a little bit.  Within a few minutes of our arrival, the girls’ gazes shifted from the pumpkins in the patch to the adjacent playground.  Want to guess where we spent most of our time?
