Pumpkin Patch 2012

The children and I made a precious memory this week.

We joined some sweet friends who also attend Lucy Mills' preschool and visited a nearby pumpkin patch.  The girls played so well together and Lucy Mills really looks up to the "big girls." {Who are 4 mind you.}

The girls all have little brothers who turn 2 in December along with McClain.  Yay for Super Buddy having other...well, buddies.

The kiddos enjoyed a hay ride, feeding the billy goats, picking out their very own pumpkins, eating homemade cookies, having story time, and running wild on the playground.  I couldn't have hand-picked a better fall activity for us.

This will surely be an annual tradition for our crew.

The cool, crisp air was refreshing for our souls.

The freedom for little boys to run wide open on a piece of southern soil to their hearts content was joy, pure joy.

Some days the constant hustle combined with the monotonous tasks that fall under the umbrella of being wife and mom cloud the happiness that my heart longs to take captive.

But not this day.

This day was for making memories.  This day was a perfect fall day with my two precious pumpkins.
