Pumpkin Picking and Photographer Mommy

We went to Blake's Orchard again this weekend to find the perfect pumpkin. As soon as we pulled into the Orchard, Emma-Grace immediately started yelling "bopple, bopple, bopple!" which is baby-ean for "apple". Ken jumped out of the car and picked both girls an apple to eat while we looked for the perfect pumpkin.


Anna found hers first.

Emma-Grace found hers shortly after. She can't say pumpkin, but I knew she found the one she wanted because it was the only one she sat on... Good thing it wasn't rotten or semi-squished. Since it was the only one she sat on, we got it for her.


Daddy and the girls...
Emma-Grace fell asleep in the car... tired baby! Hi old lady in the background of my picture! Hope you like being memorialized on my blog!

After indulging in donuts and cider slushies, we rounded out our healthy morning by going to McDonald's for lunch, a request that Anna made yesterday.
After we got home, it was too nice to stay inside so I played photographer. Anna was all about it, but Emma-Grace wasn't. I did manage to snap a few of them together. Something that I was not successful at at the pumpkin patch.

We had a fun filled day and were pretty much outside from the time we got to the orchard, around 9:30 am until 5:30 when we came in for dinner. After we got home from the orchard and McDonald's our neighbors came over for a few hours of kick ball and soccer, of which Anna did participate in for a little bit, then played house with her friend. Needless to say, during dinner when I told Anna that she had to eat all her fruit and salad before she could get dessert, she told me that she was too tired to eat her food and too tired to eat dessert. I asked her if she just wanted to go to bed, and she said yes. A bath, a book and 30 mins later, both girls were in bed asleep. The only nap Emma-Grace had was the 30 min car ride between the orchard and McDonald's... poor babies! However, the 7:30 pm bed time is what has allowed me to download both cameras, edit the pics and post them all in one night, a process that usually takes 5-7 days.
