Pumpkin Patch

Now that its football season our group of friends get to together a little more often than usual….well at least all the husbands get together to watch football on sundays.  Us wives either get a break for the day OR gather as wel. Sometimes having a quiet house to do laundry, grocery shop and tidy up is more important than our Ball and Chain Fantasy League! haha

Since it was early in October we decided to brave the Moms and Kids day to a pumpkin patch. Sounded like a great idea…until I realized as I sat in LINE to get inside to park BEFORE the pumpkin patch even opened that it might have been a little more challenging than I thought. haha BUT we made the best of it…got the kids out for a bit.

We went to Irvine Park Pumpkin Patch…the same day as most of Irvine. lol

I do have to say though…traveling and doing things alone with 3 kids isn’t as scary as I remember it in the past. I remember thinking it was impossible…and asking my friend Heather (mother of 3) HOW the heck can I possibly do it…it gets done…oh how things have changed.

While we waited for our friends to show..I thought it was a good time to try and get a proper picture of the 3 kids. Having all 3 looking, smiling nicely and cooperating is a hard task. But these came out kinda cute! love them.

even thought Ella is a little out of focus…thats ok. No one will notice. lol

Kids did the corn maze, played a carnvial game and ate some popcorn. It wasn’t very eventful…the place was just TOO packed.

This was funny…trying to get all the kids to pose for a group pic…oh dear. This was the best one I got.

Maggie was pissed…it was her lunch time…and she wasn’t amused by Owen holding her…she wanted to crawl around the sharp lil pumpkins.

I love my friend Heather…and how she always takes GOOD freakin’ pictures. I love watching her patience when trying to get kids to cooperate.

Her kids are like professional little models…when they are listening to her! heehee

Here are some cute ones she got of my familia that day.
