soggy

it's time for pumpkins again this year. last year we went picking with a lovely group of friends. we had really just found out we were going to be having a baby and we hadn't told anyone yet. when we were picking out our pumpkins alex leaned over and whispered to me that we should also get one for the little monkey. of course i couldn't resist.



this year we went with the same group. it was so different. the little baby that one friend had last year is now running around. we have wes and another friend has her new little girl (5 weeks old!) so it was a pretty cool thing. except see how sunny and wonderful it was last year? not so much this year. it started pouring as soon as we got to the pumpkin patch. you see wes is all snug in his sling next to his dad (really he's in there) but i had just gotten over an illness and we weren't properly dressed for the weather so the three of us ended up hanging out in the car while everyone else trekked out for their pumpkins. i think it was the right choice for us but i was still disappointed. i know wes is too little to care. next year will be more fun.

i plan to take lots of photos at the carving party this weekend, let's hope for nicer weather!
