"Punkins!"

Holy cow, how is October almost over and this is my first blog post this month?!?  Oops.  Don't worry, I have not been sitting idle!  I am still training for my half marathon on November 7th.  But I sustained a second injury during this training period (weak legs) so I have to take it easy for a week.  Hoping to get a few miles in tomorrow and ease back into it.  Today would have been a perfect day for a run, but instead we headed to a local pumpkin patch.  This year, we went to Eplegaarden in Fitchburg.  

From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we got to listen to this one saying, "PUNKINS!"

 She was dressed in my most favorite outfit of hers right now.  Thankfully, we got some cute pics before she fell down like 147 times and got all dirty.


 The hubs, so strong.

 The lighting was tough today.  Not easy to get good pics with noon sunlight.

 This guy.  I don't know when his smile started looking like he was in pain but that is what it is right now.

Obligatory cousin photo...


They had some horse drawn wagons there and Sully was brave enough to pet the horse with some help from cousin Ava.

She was trying to slither away from me.  Sneaky little snake.

This lady has her "cheeeeeese" down pat:)

My heart skips a bit when I see my nieces and nephews interact with my kids.  Especially the older nieces and nephew.  The kindness and interest they show in my kids are nothing short of amazing and I am so grateful.  They have no idea.  My kids are so very lucky to have such amazing cousins on both sides of their family.


Picking the perfect pumpkins...

And lastly, me and my two "punkins"...

Now to finish making their Halloween costumes.  


I am done with the little lady's costume but possibly traumatized her when I put it on her.  It was TIGHT!  I had to cut it off her and add ties to the back so it is easier to get on and off, assuming she lets me put it on her again.  *sigh*  Pics to come!
