Pumpkin Patch

We've been going to the Pumpkin Patch right by our house every year since Lucas was born. So this was our 5th year! I love traditions like that and once again I was sad to realize that our yearly visit was going to mark another last: our last Nashville pumpkin patch visit (or maybe not… we can always come back).

I love the fall and I love fall colors. The pumpkin patch is one of my favorite backgrounds for my mini amateur photo shoots.

We had to break out the pink cowboy boots for the occasion. 

And the scary faces!

And of course our best smiles!

And yes. We took this one home…(the kid and the pumpkin).

And for my nostalgic sake here are some pictures from our past pumpkin patch visits.

Turkey Day

We got to spend Thanksgiving Day with my family this year (we enjoyed my mother-in-law's turkey a few days later). And a wonderful day it was. I am very thankful to have gotten to spend the day with my whole sweet bunch. 

Morning Eyes:

To get us all out of the house, we took an outing to Moss Rock, the perfect rock, river, and woods playground for a then soon-to-be four year old.

Little sis had a fun time too. 

And so did the rest of us:

 

Love my two:

And love my three:

Fall Leaves

The joys of vacation -- I'm finally getting to catch up on my picture posting. Here are a few more from last month. We had a great time playing in the leaves, raking leaves, building forts, and going to the playground. We had many days of gorgeous weather and loved it!

Stay tuned for pics from the zoo...

Pumpkin Patch

After driving by the pumpkin patch daily for the past month with Lucas yelling "punkin, punkin" every time, we finally got a chance to go visit all the pumpkins on the last day, October 31st. Lucas had a blast and was running around and trying to pick up every pumpkin. Lucas got to pick out his own pumpkins -- yes, he of course wanted two-- and now has a little orange and a little white one. They have since been going everywhere with him and he insists that they sleep in bed with him at night. Too cute.
