The patch...

I must admit I do not enjoy a certain Fall holiday that starts with the letter H.  Call me crazy but I don't get excited about dressing up, eating large amounts of junk and having kids stay up late just to be grouchy the next day.  But don't worry, I do it for the kids.  They can dress up, eat all the candy they desire and participate in the H word. 

What I do love is Thanksgiving, Christmas and a good old fashioned hay ride into the pumpkin patch.  I took the three older kids  (Garrett was still recovering) to a local pumpkin patch.  It was a beautiful Saturday, hay mazes, pumpkins, hay slides, hot chocolate, the feeling of Fall.  We had a good time together picking out pumpkins and playing.  It never gets old to me, it's part of the season, a part that I love.
