pumpkin patch 2013

Last year we went to Sweet Berry Farm to take pumpkin pictures for the first time.  I fell in love with this place.  Flower picking, barrel train and GOATS! It was amazing and I couldn't wait for October to roll around again so we could take Calvin back.

We went yesterday.  I picked flowers while my boys took a little car nap, but by the time I got back with my Zinnia booty they were ready to go.

 Calvin charged toward the horses, chanting "animals, animals".  and he liked the goats.  But they weren't the highlight of the trip this year.  He loved the pumpkins.  He could pick the smaller ones up and sort them, put them in other places they didn't belong, like under the carts or just carry them around.  In fact, there may be a gourd rattling around in my car right now.  "pumpkins, pumpkins"  again with the chanting.

 As you can see, it was a bright and warm day.  However, this is fall in Texas.  High 80s in October is about at cool as you can hope for.  Someone please tell my husband this.  After 12 years here he still can't get over it.

 But the biggest hit of the day was the strawberry popsicle!

Cooking

This picture has been very popular on Facebook recently. Calvin may hate me for it later but who cares. Look at those buns!

Bare booty aside, this is a common sight in our house. You can't do anything in the kitchen without Calvin pushing this chair from the dining room table chanting "watch, watch". 

If you are lucky you get an enthusiastic "Cooking!" out of him too.
