"Numnin" Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch with playgroup this week. Peter was excited to see all those "numnin"s, a word he had learned just the day before because we hung up Halloween decorations. Eddie and Peter loved listening to the stories.

What a handsome young man! Love that smile!

Both Eddie and Peter loved measuring pumpkins with string. Eddie told me later that this was his favorite part.


Eddie learned that he could use his string to knock pumpkins into the holes between the boards. He's pretty impressed with his little game.

Of course they loved picking out pumpkins. Peter's was selected for him by another mom because of its perfect size. It has proved to double as a ball.

Eddie kept changing his selection. Each pumpkin was smaller than the last. He came home with a pumpkin even smaller than Peter's!


I attempted to get a lot of posed pictures, which of course didn't work. It's practically impossible to get two little ones to look at you at the same time.
I love this one. I had told Eddie to put his hand on Peter's shoulder, not realizing it would be the wrong hand.

The best I got of E and P!
Peter didn't fight getting his face painted, though Eddie wouldn't even go near the table. Eddie enjoyed playing games. Peter joined in with the parachute.


We ended at the playground and with a picnic lunch. It was a fun day!

Looks like you had a lot of fun and got a lot of cute pictures of the boys.

On another note, I have a friend who at this minute is waiting to find out if they get to adopt a baby. If they get to adopt him, they will be heading to Tallahasee to pick him up. Small world.
