Pumpkins!!

  

Try as we did, we simply were not successful in ditching the kids at the pumpkin patch.  We did however, come back with a whole hoard to decorate for Halloween and to get ready for the twins' birthday party.  This pumpkin patch was huge and there was hardly anyone there this particular day.  My guess is, is that was because it may hay have been the end of October, but it was ridiculously HOT that day.  I'm no expert on weather related matters, but I'm nearly certain that it may have been 150 degrees out.  Either that or the earth may have moved just a little closer to the sun that day and one of the tremendous sun flares licked out over California.  Yes...I'm not a scientist, but I'm pretty sure that was it.  Believable, no?

Here is the whole gang of motley little rugrats.  Cute aren't they?  Well...some of them are...they know who they are...LOL I love how Mason looks like we forced him to come with us under penalty of losing the right to build with his Lego collection - which if you are 9, is completely torturous.

     

After torturing the kids to pose on their pumpkins of choice, we went and and acted completely immature near the hay maze.  A hay maze is just like a corn maze...only much shorter.  In case you didn't know...The great thing about a good hay maze...you can lock the kids, they get lost for about an hour but there is as look out tower so the parents can go up make sure everyone ok, and that no one will CPS on you for ditching your kids in the hay maze...

Oh...Dear GOD...I think I just figured out what this big pumpkin is.  I didn't realize it at the time, but...I think...is it possible...that it...is...Jack Sprat??  If it is...that would make me his FAT wife who could eat no lean...CRAP!  I totally set myself up on that one, LOL  One of my favorite sayings is, "I might be stupid...but I'm no dummy."  I think I need to seriously reconsider that truthfulness of that saying now...
