The Pumpkin Patch


Today we visited a pumpkin patch
with our preschool class.
 

Katie was not impressed with the
displays of pumpkin-headed people.

"No.  No like dat......"



She did, however, like the orange pumpkin 
cookie she got during storytime.

Yummy.



"Dis one!  You take it home and make
it jack-o-lantern!"



Hmmmmmmm?  Whaaaaat'ssssss thissssss?
A lonely ole' mud puddle?



Here, Mr. Mud Puddle, let me give you a nice, big....


......SPLASH!!



A preschool buddy also took pity on Mr. Mud Puddle.



At the end of 15 minutes of muck-splashing mayhem, he was a well
loved Mr. Mud Puddle indeed.



Here's the final product.



Nowadays, the only way I can get Katie to look at the camera and smile is to
call her one of the characters from the movie "Cars".  

The other parents milling about must have thought I was absolutely nuts.
(The preschool parents already know me.  I think.)  

Not only was Katie covered in smelly farm mud, but here I was yelling out
like some sort of freakish paparazzi......   

HEY!  LIGHTNING MCQUEEN!  LIGHTNING MCQUEEN!
LOOK!  LOOK HERE!
LOOK AT MOMMY!  TOW MATER!



Man.  Two year olds are awesome.

Fast forward and now it's October 2025. 😬 After working hard to get the blog updated for 2024, my time to work on it just disappeared. ...
