I love Fall. I love the temperatures. I love the changing leaves. I love pumpkins. As the momma I dictate the attitude of my family about Fall. My children will love Fall – the weather, leaves, and pumpkins. Little has lived through five Octobers now and she has officially caught on – a kindred spirit.

We went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday and I had told Jeremy I wanted to get a couple pictures before the kids ran off and inevitably got covered in the mud left by the previous three days of torrential downpour. I then turned to the children and said, “Why don’t you guys sit on this hay here and let momma take a picture of you?” The hay was covered with pie pumpkins. Little sat down and said, “Sit here, Bubba.” She then picked up a pumpkin and set it in her lap. Her next words were, “Get a pumpkin and hold it, Bubba.” Honey then put KB on the hay and I took the photo.
