We're Off to the Pumpkin Patch!

Ever since we decided to start our family, I looked forward to starting traditions with our family, one of them being the pumpkin patch in the fall!  We had plans to go two weeks ago with Ben's sister, Chessie, but Hurricane Joaquin ruined our plans.  Noelle ended up being sick so we would have had to cancel anyways.  We decided to go this past weekend and it of course was in the 50s!  It was sunny at our house when we left and by the time we got to the pumpkin patch it was cloudy and sprinkling here and there.  I was determined to get our pumpkins and pictures even if we got soaked!  Thankfully it didn't rain and Ben got some great pictures of the girls.

 

It's hard trying to hold up two babies while crouching!  Noelle on the left, Natalie on the right.

They were way to interested in the pumpkin to look at the camera.

 

Noelle kept trying to eat the straw

"Whatcha doing Mommy?"

It was cold, cloudy, and windy, but we made it!  Each girl got a pumpkin and then we got a third pumpkin to paint teal for the Teal Pumpkin Project. The Teal Pumpkin Project is for food allergy awareness.  What you do is you paint a pumpkin teal and sit it on your steps on Halloween night and it tells families that you have non-food items for trick-or-treaters, like pencils, erasers, glow sticks, etc.  That way families who have food allergies know it's safe to trick-or-treat there.  I still have to decide what I want to have for my non-food items but I have my pumpkin and paint at least!

I already look forward to next year's trip and watching two 20 month olds toddle around!
