WE LIKE TO PRETEND THAT IT’S VERY CHILLY when we visit the pumpkin patch this time of year. the truth is, it’s not. ever! it may be breezy {if that}, but that’s about it for the weather here in sunny california. this is how it goes every year before we leave for the pumpkin patch…one of us will stand on the front porch to check the weather, “hey! it’s kind of cold! wear a sweater!” we bundle up. sometimes we stop for a pumpkin latte. then, by the time we make it to the pumpkin patch, we’re ripping off layers of clothes as fast as possible, while searching around the car for bottles of water and our sunglasses. i really shouldn’t complain, but it would be nice to have two cold days during the year – pumpkin patch day and christmas tree day. you know what i’m talking about, californians?!

wren was really excited about the pumpkin patch this year. she finally understands pumpkins, halloween, candy, and dressing up. it’s so much fun! i didn’t think she would be interested in carving a pumpkin, instead i gave her markers to draw a face. silly me for assuming, because when she saw all the other kids carving pumpkins at a halloween party, she tossed the markers and begged tommy to carve a face for her. wren and tommy’s pumpkin is on the left, my bear is on the right. yay for pumpkins!
