Pumpkin Patch

I thought we were going to get through October without visiting the pumpkin patch but after hearing others talk about and reading about it in some of our books William asked when we were going to the pumpkin patch. So, the day before Halloween I woke the kids up early from their nap and told them we were headed to the pumpkin patch. Let’s just say I did not get the reaction I was hoping for. William threw an all out fit on his floor and did not want to go and Virginia just wanted to go back to sleep. Ryan had already left work and was meeting us and they were already up and the chances of them going back to sleep were slim so I dragged two sleepy, whiney kids out the door and we left. Once we were on the road they were fine and were very excited when we got on the hayride to go get a pumpkin. We went to the Grand Ole Pumpkin Patch in Cullman and at 3:30 on a Tuesday we were one of maybe 5 families there which was really nice. We rode the hayride, picked up a pumpkin,  rode a tractor train, played in the tee pees, and visited the petting zoo. We topped it all off with dinner at McDonalds.
