A Trip to the Pumpkin Patch with Grammy

After Shelby & I were both feeling better, we made a trip to the pumpkin patch with Grammy while she was here. We got a couple pumpkins for our front porch, a few pictures, and some good memories out of it! Shelby gets so excited whenever she sees a pumpkin this year! She always "A pumpkin! I see it!" :)

After our trip to the pumpkin patch, we stopped by McAlister's on our way home for dinner. I think it was the best meal we have eaten at a restaurant with Shelby b/c she was just such an angel! She actually ate what we ordered for her and was so cooperative & patient the entire time. After going through so many months where meal time was practically synonymous with torture, it is like a breath of fresh air when we can go to a restaurant, order Shelby something off of the kids menu, and actually enjoy our meal together. It was a great evening!!!

I am still so thankful that my mom was able to come help us out for a few days! Although I'm not so thrilled with the circumstances of the visit (stomach bugs are the WORST!, it couldn't have come at a better time! It was a great way to break up this month without Derek. Thanks again, Mom!! :)
