Let's Go To the Pumpkin Patch!

Today was a great day. Beautiful weather, nice and cool...a mere 77 degrees, and not a cloud in the sky. The perfect day to go to the Pumpkin Patch. We have a special place we go to. It's found at a Lutheran Church on Green Oaks just west of Cooper Street in Arlington. All the proceeds go to support mission trips for their youth group. Well worth the investment.

Jayna's job is to find the pumpkins. One for each member of the family. Today was a hard day for Jilli because she had shots yesterday, so she slept most of the day today. I dressed the girls alike...pink shirts, denim overalls, pink bows for their hair. Perfect for a day at the patch!

This year they had a cardboard standup of some Peanuts characters (Linus, Lucy and a shadow of Snoopy in the background all painted in black). Jayna loved them and so we had her picture made with them. Not only that, but they had a huge haystack where you could have your pictures made with pumpkins displayed all around. We had our picture made (Mommy, Jilli and Jayna) and Daddy and Jayna had their picture made with a scarecrow. Too cute.

Jayna met a cat on a leash, and didn't like him at all. He was a kitten (a teenager cat) that was a little more active than Jayna's used to. Jayna's only met 2 cats in her lifetime...my sister's cat, Lilly (who's afraid of kids and stays away) and Dave's sister's cat, Frances who LOVES Jayna and plays with her. Needless to say, we didn't visit with the cat.

Afterwards, we ate at none other than Chick-Fil-A (Chick-A-Lay according to Jayna) and went shopping at Wal-Mart for groceries where Dave saw a lifesize standup Lego display of Darth Vadar.

Now we're home, ready for bed...ready for a day at church tomorrow. We'll see what goes on tomorrow....

Until then, love to all...
