A Pumpkin Patch....or three.

We are really enjoying our three day weekend here. We actually went to three pumkin patches yesterday but more on that later.


Ethan popped his second tooth this week. He looks so cute with those two little teeth on the bottom. We had to take the little man to the doctor this week. He woke up Thursday morning around 4 am on fire. I took his temp and it was 102.2. I thought it might be from teething but that is really high.

We took him in just to check his ears and stuff. The doctor said Ethan's ears looked clear but he had a little sore throat. We haven't seen any more symptoms since so that's good.

I have to be tricky to take any pics of Emma lately. Here is one I was able to catch. Please ignore the snack that is all over her face.
Sunday was such a beautiful day here. Josh and I always go to the Scituate Art Festival every year. We haven't missed once since we started dating in 1997. It is always Columbus Day weekend. We used to bring Bailey with us but now its the babies. We began our day there. My stroller gets so much attention it is funny. Ethan was riding in the bottom seat and Emma was in the top one. When ever we walk by people we can hear them talking about the stroller. People also stop and ask us about it. If you want attention pick up at Phil and Ted's.

Now for the three pumpkin patches. Last October we went to Confreda's with Lauren. We had a blast there and desided to stop by there after the festival. It was NUTS there. Cars were parked down the street and the line for the hayride was super long. We didn't even get out of the car.

Next we went to J&D Farm. They had a lot of activities for kids. Emma was dying to get her picture taking "peeking through those holes."
She also loved the big sand box. Who's says girls in skirts can't work the front end loader?

See...the leaves are already changing.

"Hi, baby cow!"

The highlight of this farm was the cow train ride. Emma would not ride alone so lucky me, I got to climb in one of those cows. Our cow's name was Jelly Bean, which Emma thought was hilarious. We went around like 800 times. It was pulled by a small tractor and I thought it would never end. Emma did love it though. She was singing songs to me and giggling the whole time. I am sure she will be talking about it for a while now.

When we were on the hayride at J&D we noticed that there was no pumpkin patch. We were not going to buy pumpkins there because those pumpkins must have been trucked in. That is just silly so we went to farm number three of the day, Morris Farm. Morris Farm is right around the corner from our house and that is where we got Emma's first pumpkin in 2006.

Picking out the perfect pumpkin.

Here is a little flashback picture from Emma's first trip to Morris Farm:


Today is Monday and it is 10:30 am. Emma do is STILL sleeping. We went over to our neighbor's house to watch the Pat's game last night (I don't even want to talk about how terrible that game was. I miss you Tom.) She ran around like a crazy girl with her boys so she must be catching up today.


See you soon!
