My Three "P's"

My kiddos all have little mommy names - they each have many, many names, but there are 3 that have stuck since they were each born. Samuel is my Peach (but he'll tell you it is our little secret), Jacob is my Pumpkin, and Hannah is my Petunia.
However, a couple of weeks ago, they were ALL my little Pumpkin-Faces, as we made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch.

We met our friends The Martins as well as Aunt Silly and Keely and Claire for our annual run around the pumpkins. This year was a little disappointing, as the kids did not get as much play time as they would have liked. Aunt Silly and I are bound and determined that next year we'll map out a better plan. However, they were really good sports and had a fair amount of fun. This is the day that Hannah decided to get sick (see post below) and even feeling puny, she turned it on for the camera, and had a great time!

Samuel actually got Aunt Silly to step onto the other side of the lens!

I think this is my favorite picture of Hannah...attitude already??

And back to her usual self!

This weekend, we attended some other fall events. Our church held a fall festival, and we caught the last couple of hours. As the sun set, the air cooled off significantly, and we enjoyed being in our long sleeves and jeans! The boys enjoyed the mayhem of the bounce houses, we had live music that Hannah and Jacob could not stop dancing to, and of course, we had to get the boys' faces painted. It was a great time!

Hannah could not stop dancing to the music that was playing!

Today, we ended the weekend with a quick trip to the local Christmas Tree farm. You're probably wondering what the heck we were doing there...but for the month of October, they have a pumpkin patch, hayrides, a giant tree house, fishing pond and some other fun things going on. We headed out there for a short while this afternoon, and since today was the last day, and they were just about to close, we had the place almost all to ourselves! The kids enjoyed running around, and we went on a hayride that took us all through the Christmas Tree farm to see the trees. We then climbed around the tree house, and went to the Indian Village where they got to go in and out of the full sized teepees. Samuel and Jacob fished in the pond, and then we headed back on the hayride to pick out our pumpkin. It was a really fun afternoon.

Until next year...
