The Pumpkin Patch Post

This year our pumpkin picking experience included a corn maze, farm animals, and Elsie getting clotheslined by an excited 8 year-old boy running for a tractor ride. Both boy and Elsie are OK.

Elsie finds the perfect pumpkin and carries it by herself - thank you very much.

Margot scoping out the scene. I think it looks like she is perfecting a danceline move. Maybe she will follow in her mom's footsteps.

Our fearless leader. Elsie guided us through the corn maze. It took forever and I got a little nervous after 15 minutes of dead ends.

The ultimate staredown.


Girl Got Style

I can't decide what's more outrageous, the huge flower in Margot's hair (which she demands to wear) or the sunglasses. Obviously, her fashion sense comes from her mom.

A is for...

Anne, Alligator, Awesome, and of course Apple. We had lots of fun at an apple orchard near our house and as Elsie would say enjoyed the prettyful (pretty + beautiful) season of Autumn.


Here Elsie leads Margot around the hedge maze. Is this a trust exercise where the little sister has to close her eyes and hope she doesn't get led into disaster...or is this just another photo of Margot with her eyes closed?
Elsie puts the apples in and Margot takes them out.

Elsie looks for the perfect apple.


A happy moment for Margot. Minutes later she tripped on the apples and gave herself a good bump on the head.
