Pumpkins with the pumpkins

We made our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch in Celebration last week with the Lent family.  The weather was nice & cool, our pumpkins were dressed in their new pumpkin shirts Gaga made & we were ready to enjoy a relaxing evening out with the five kids (between our two families).  It was a bit crowded but we managed to have a good time anyway!

A few of the favorites....

That smile on Eloise just melts my heart. She is so darn cute!

My mom has my Grandmother Alene's old embroidery machine & tried something new this year.  She is quite determined & talented! We LOVE the patterns & fabrics she chose. The girls were super excited to have their very own pumpkin shirt. The boys on the other hand were more than displeased with the whole pumpkin thing....even though they looked adorable. 

Anson cheered up when Daddy rescued him.

and a family shot with five out of the six of us looking in the correct direction. Not bad!

After spending time amongst the pumpkins, we loaded up the strollers & walked over to Main Street. We ate dinner outside & enjoyed five fairly compliant children : ) After dinner we continued the stroll over to Starbucks. It was lovely.  I chose to leave out the pictures of precious little Audrey since I haven't sent them to her mommy yet but I will add one in later. 

I decided to give the boys one more try with the pumpkins on the front porch yesterday. They withheld all smiles but looked less distressed ; )

I love fall. It is made up of my favorite color scheme....well at least the decorations are down here in sunny Florida! Up next, some "little hoots" trick-or-treating.....
