Pumpkin Patch

When Juliette was five or six days old we made our first outing as a family of five to the pumpkin patch on Clemmonsville. We've gone almost every year since we moved here (we only missed last year because we were out of town). One year Charlie was a pumpkin-in-my-stomach!

The kids had a great time exploring and pulling a Radio Flyer around as we all selected pumpkins.

The kids each picked out an apple to snack on. Charlie was particularly committed to his.

Juliette stayed snuggly and sleepy the whole time.

We have three kids now!!

I made Steve take a baby-selfie with me. :)

After school the next day Steve, Gracie and I had a pumpkin carving party. Charlie was first napping (and then uninterested) so Steve did his (and Juliette's) too.

Juliette helped.

Gracie did a lot of hers on her own--she even helped scoop out the innards, which she thought was pretty gross. (It is super gross isn't it?) She also poked out tiny holes and did some carving. She was pretty proud of herself and really enjoyed seeing them lit up together on top of our bookcase. :)
