oh. my gosh. i don’t think i’ve ever loved pumpkins as much as i loved pumpkins last friday at cheekwood’s gorgeous pumpkin patch!! the babies and i, we snagged my beautiful sisboo, christina, for the day, and we strolled along in perfect weather, gazing at silly scarecrows, then picking out some pumpkins. it was so perfect.
and i mean, really… if we weren’t riiight in the middle of moving, i would’ve so taken home as many of those gorgeous white pumpkins as i could fit in my car!! instead, maddalena picked out two little pumpkins… one for her and one for rocco… and christina picked some for her own cozy apartment. i’m pretty sure i got to take home the very cutest and snuggliest pumpkins in the patch to keep for myself, anyway! 🙂 but next year, all the white pumpkins, too, please please!
anyway, we didn’t quite make it in and out of the patch without miss maddalena falling completely in love with the hugest, lumpiest, bumpiest pumpkin in the whole patch! that girl, she was bound and determined to roll it all the way home if she had to. and while i’m totally not one to say no to an additional pumpkin, we had no hands left to carry! she was heartbroken at the idea of leaving her new pumpkin bff and i was heartbroken watching her helplessly… until glorious aunt christina [chrissy, as she calls her!] made the suggestion that we grab some lunch and hot chocolate. boom! great idea! bye pumpkin! chrissy is theee best.
and so! she settled for the chocolate milk that came with her grilled cheese… mostly because my brain forgot to differentiate between the hot and cold of the beverage options. she said, “this hot chocolate is really cooold!” haha. oops. it was a sunshiney day in the 80s, after all! she wasn’t too upset. 😉
…and oooh that sweet, sweet rocco! whatever did i do without that chunk of muffin love joy?! i constantly want to devour my babies’ faces and it’s basically out of control. <3
Your family is precious— love these pictures! What a sweet time altogether!!
thanks girly!! it was one of my fav fall days!!
That pumpkin patch is absolutely adorable! And what sweet babies! Glad the promise of hot chocolate could cheer her up when she had to leave behind her beloved pumpkin (even if it ended up being chocolate milk instead). 🙂
thanks beauty! she is a stubborn little princess! wonder where she gets it. 😉 i was glad my sister suggested such a reward because i don't think she'd have been as excited if i had said it haha!!
What a beautiful, love-filled day!
Oh young love! So easily distracted by the possibility of hot (cold) chocolate!! If only we could give our babies all the ridiculous things they fall in love with!!
