Pumpkin Patch

ByKaren
I have a picture of Steve and Holly walking into the pumpkin patch last year on our refrigerator and Holly noticed it earlier in the year and ever since then, she has been asking to go to the Pumpkin Patch. Well it’s finally that time of the year and today we went to the pumpkin patch.

We go to Manfredi’s Farm in Westerly and they have a bunch of animals there too and she had so much fun!!! She didn’t want to go near the donkey’s but she was very brave with the goats, sheep and chickens. She would of loved to have gotten closer to the ducks, but that wasn’t possible.

Here are some pictures of our day….







Allison watched from the sidelines, I’m sure next year she will be right there with her sister.

I love how she was peeking through the wood railing to see the ducks in the water…
Now it’s time to find a pumpkin….
This is the one Holly picked up today. She wants me to make pumpkin pie so now I’m looking for a recipe (and directions) to make a pumpkin pie from scratch. Anyone have one they’d like to share???

The perfect pumpkin!
“Hmm, maybe I get a small one too!”
“Oh wait here’s another nice one daddy”
Allison’s first official pumpkin patch picture….

They also had little bikes for the kids to ride, she enjoyed that too.
Holly wasn’t the only one who enjoyed the day, Allison was all smiles when we left, she really enjoyed watching Holly and the animals too.

It was a fun day, but only one of many, we plan on going back to the pumpkin patch many more times this month.

6 Month Pictures

I finally had the chance to take Allison for her 6 month pictures yesterday, even though she will be 7 months next week! She did a great job, after I change her diaper. She wasn’t too happy taking pictures in a dirty diaper, can’t say I blame her. Here is our little superstar…. Tomorrow I will post our bigger superstar’s pictures since it’s her 3rd Birthday!

Much better and more..

I hope! Holly is back to herself, like she’d never even been sick. I’m glad for that..I missed her little spirit running around the house talking on her phone, playing with her little people, dancing with dora. All that is back and more. Now we need to get Mommy back on the mend. I ended up catching what she had and was in bed Friday night when Steve got home. I spent the day in bed on Saturday and Sunday I was started to feel better. So far so good today. Now lets just hope that Steve doesn’t catch it. Tomorrow I plan on disinfecting the house to get rid of this bug. I just don’t have all my energy back today to do it….

I finally did it!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my layouts has been published in a scrapbook magazine. I found out back in August. You can read that thread here. This is something that I’ve been wanting and waiting for a LONG time. If it never happens again, I will be happy that it happened once. But of course I will continue to try for future publications. My copy of the magazine finally arrived yesterday. I really think I was the last one to receive a copy because I wanted it so bad. I was so happy, almost starting jumping up and down again screaming, but Holly was napping so I couldn’t. They choose my layout titled “10 Think I Love About You” for their section titled “What I love about you”…

That Face………….

I just love this little face……… with that cheesy smile. That’s how she smiles when she sees the camera in my hand lately, all the while saying “CHEESE”. It’s really cute!! Here is another one……. I just love that face!!!

Good News

Our family received some good news yesterday. Some of you who know my cousin Mia (46) had open heart surgery in June and has been paralyzed ever since from the waist down. Last week she was able to wiggle two toes on each foot and after a few days she was wiggling all the toes on one foot. She went to Boston yesterday for an evaluation and they said that since she is able to do that, then it means that she WILL walk again someday!!! That was the best news ever. We had an idea that would be the case but they confirmed it. She needs to just be patient and keep up with physical therapy and just give it some time. They said…

My Mommy and Daddy………..

Last night Steve was taking pictures of me, every few weeks I get a belly shot so I can later scrapbook my progress. Anyways, Holly wanted to be in the picture, of course I did not mind at all. And then I had to get a kiss in, love kissing those cheeks!!! And we had to get a picture with daddy too. Oh how we love this little girl!!!!

  2. So much to comment on… I love the new Fall look of the blog- I think you should change it each season. I also like the baby pictures of Holly and Allison on the side of the blog. They look so much a like. And finally, I love the pumpkin patch pictures, especially the ones of Holly holding the pumpkins. Did you plan for her shirt to match the gourds?
