Pumpkin Patch Fun!

We have gone to a local church's "pumpkin patch" the past 2 years here in Biloxi. This was our 3rd year going, and it's a fun little tradition. You can see our 2012 visit {HERE} (we went with Grammy last year b/c Daddy was away in Germany) and our 2011 visit {HERE}. It's crazy how much Shelby has grown & changed since we've started going! And it was especially fun this year to take both  of our girls. :)

This was our best shot of both girls with the pumpkins ;)
Sometimes the perfect picture just isn't worth the struggle...this was
definitely one of those times!!!

While we were at the pumpkin patch, it started to drizzle for a few minutes. But we just pressed on with our hunt for the perfect pumpkins since it wasn't raining too hard. Then the rain stopped, and it was SO MISERABLY HOT & MUGGY. By this point, both of the girls were pretty much done & ready for naps. So we loaded up the car & headed home with our 4 pumpkins. We didn't get any "perfect" pictures of our day, but it was still a really fun family outing! I thought the holidays were fun last year with a 2 year old, but I think they're even more fun with a 3 year old! Shelby is just SO excited Halloween & everything that goes along with it! She has her own little calendar in the kitchen, and every single day she looks at it and asks me: "Mama, is it the 31 yet?!" {She doesn't say "the 31st" despite how many times we've corrected her. She always says "the 31." Admittedly, I think I'll be a bit sad when she does start actually saying it correctly!}

Shelby didn't want to sit on the hay b/c it was "too itchy," but Miss
Hadley didn't mind. ;)

Shelby was thrilled to put our pumpkins out on our front porch when we got home!

We are looking forward to lots more Fall & Halloween fun with our sweet girls! And we're getting excited about the fact that we'll be able to spend Thanksgiving AND Christmas in GA this year with our families! I even ordered 2 Christmas presents this past week...such a fun time of year!
