Pumpkin Patch!!

I really thought I would be leaving summer kicking and screaming, but we are really enjoying the idea of autumn around the corner. Today seemed like a true Autumn day...brisk. Brad and I spent the morning putting more insulation in our attic {pictures to come =0}. Then this afternoon, we took our girls up to a huge pumpkin patch. We picked our fill of pumpkins, and then found out they sold raspberries too! Gwen and Liv LOVED picking the berries off of the vines and eating them =0)....yum! I am dreaming up what we are going to do with them =0).... I'm actually in the mood to cook! That hasn't happened in a while =0).Notice the shoes!.....Yes she really did wear these while we picked raspberries and bought our pumpkins =0).

Betsy, Oh my! Liv looks so grown up in these pictures! She is beautiful! And I LOVE that Gwen wore those shoes to the pumpkin patch. Girls are the best!! Your pictures, as always, are beautiful and you do such a wonderful job telling a story with pictures.

Did your hubby do most of the picking while you did most of the picture taking? That is a lot of pumpkins...what are your plans for all of those :)

Carrie....Yes, Brad picked 2 cartons of raspberries to my one, and The pumpkins are all going in our front yard as fall decoration. I think we will use one for "Dinner in a pumpkin" Have you ever had that? I've never made it, but it is a fun fall activity.

Way fun! I have autumn, I can't believe that the pumpkins are ready so early. There is no pumpkins here yet in the northwest. We picked raspberries this summer made freezer jam. You have such darling girls and you guys do a lot of amazing activities. Love you blog it is fun to visit.
