Today was opening day at the pumpkin patch and we went, even though it was HOT! Traditions know no heat!
She is so independent now however, using a wagon for these little guys seems a bit excessive!
Crazy to think that this time last, this little guy was in my belly and I was hoping the bumpy tractor hay ride would bounce him out...? Is that a weird thought?
I was hoping to have this post up yesterday b/c I wanted to share an October calendar of events (for the North DFW area). So better late than never...which, has turned into the motto of my house. 2 kids is CRAZY to keep up with, I don't know how people do it with more! Good for you! :)
