Ms. Heather's Pumpkin Patch

Oh what a day it's been! My Mom's group had Ms. Heather's Pumpkin Patch on the calendar since all the kids are out of school today for the parish fair. All was fine and dandy until about 4 am when a horrible storm decided to roll through and dump rain for 5 hours! Luckily it all cleared out and everyone decided to brave the wetness. Jack's friend Graysen and his mom, Naomi, rode with us in the van (which Jack is quick to tell anyone who will listen that the van has "magic" doors) out to the pumpkin patch. There were about 11 buses there by the time we arrived. That's never a good sign. Theo was running all around the place once I let him loose, promptly tripping into mud and then again several times at the petting zoo. Good times. I think next time I go I will score some Xanax off of someone first. It was crazy.

The good points were that the boys had a blast!!! I saw my friend Ellen from grad school and that was a treat. Jack and Theo got their faces painted and picked out their own pumpkins. We love Ms. Heather's Pumpkin Patch..... maybe just not on a hot, humid, wet day with eleventy billion school kids and one frazzled mom ;)
