Pumpkin Patch

Last night we took the kids to the pumpkin patch and were somewhat successful. We got some pictures, but getting Jace to look at the camera and smile was just not happening. I knew he would love the tractor, but what did not occur to me until we got there was that the tractor would be such a distraction that all he wanted to do was ride the tractor. I will attribute this to my mom's side of the family- there must be a farming gene in there somewhere. So we got some pics and were only mildly exhausted in the end. Then we went to dinner which was more of an ordeal than the pumpkin patch. It is a local place that we had not been to in a long time, so we thought we would do something different. Well we were seated right away, but were still there an hour and a half. This is just not easy to pull off with two little ones. Plus while the place was busy it was quiet, which does not work very well since Jace likes to break out in song with his ABCs and he does not know how to sing quietly. Luckily most people thought it was cute, but we were exhausted by the time dinner was over. Jace passed out on the car ride home, since he had already had a long day because we had a birthday party earlier that day. I wish I could have passed out on the car ride home too.

Steve took Jace to Bass Pro Shops for entertainment purposes last weekend, but I know he just wanted to brainwash him a little more into believing we need a boat.

Kylie is just doing fine. She is so easy going, it is a blessing!
