My Turn To Share

I know...I know.

There are pumpkin patch posts all over Blogville these days...
but I just have to share our day of fun too.

They had a pumpkin science class~~went through the wacky worm~~
drove pedal cars~~rode the hay ride....

but the best part is always......

picking out that one special pumpkin from the field

that grew especially for you.

It takes lots of searching to find The One in the midst of all the other
regular pumpkins.

but it finally appears.

and you know it at first sight.

and it makes you smile.

Did you notice that out of all the perfect orange pumpkins in the field....
both the girls picked green ones.

I found that amusing.

They just have to be a little bit different.

and I like that.

I hope they never lose their longing to be just a little bit different.

I also checked out your etsy shop, I'm putting the merci bag on my wish list. As the mother of 3 little ones I may have to wait till Christmas, hope you still have them. Lisa
