Pumpkin Patch!

My lil' punkins

Goof balls

he looks too big for my lap...which makes me almost want to cry out loud...

he is OBSESSED with zombies...he always wants me to take his picture like this...p.s. boys are gross

look at this face...now imagine he just dumped out all the contents of your purse into the toilet...now you know my daily struggle

Bodie is not sure about the haunted house

Bobby isnt either

He wont even look at it

They got a little braver and got close for an inspection. Bobby does this a lot lately and i always find it funny

Bodie in time out for whining...did i mention he is THREE?

I wonder how much longer this can happen...

Sorry for the photo bomb...i just couldn't decide which ones to leave out...so not many got left out. B took most all of these photos - just to be clear...he usually does...i just wouldn't want anyone thinking photography is a skill set for me :)

so...i started reading last year's pumpkin patch update - see here - and this is why i love doing this blog - because throughout the whole post i kept saying over and over in my head "that was a year ago?" and i so remember it all clearly. and not a whole heck of a lot has changed...bryson is still thriving in school, bodie is still challenging in this very three year old way and bobby is still as destructive as ever...so there you go! actually one thing that was super different - i had written about bodie scowling at strangers...not the case right now - now he goes up to complete strangers (even when i am not around - i am told by his teachers) and tells them his age, or how he likes monster trucks or how his brother is named bobby. its super cute and also super awkward. 

i was going to do a post on the pumpkin patch on the sweet b blog, but changed my mind...since i am not the hugest fan of this patch and really only go for tradition sake (i am a holiday junkie...self admittedly) but the patch itself is usually crowded, terribly over-priced and looks like its all going to come apart any second. they had this ride and the cars looked like bathtubs and it was just super scary, like your wierd uncle threw it together in his hoarder backyard or something. but it is fun to look back on pictures and have a gauge of where you have been...and take pictures that look like the fall...finally! it has cooled down - for which i am grateful, but i think its supposed to be 84 this weekend. whatevs - bryan told me i am not allowed to complain because we live in southern california and it makes me sound spoiled...which i am sure he is correct, but on i go anyway, because i am not too different than my children am i? 

anyway - this was a lovely weekend - bryan and i got to have a little date night to ourselves on saturday and it was fun to hang with him...nice to know we still have so much fun together - he cracks me up...i tell you...still! so now the nice easy breezy parts of fall are over...now it is onto HOLIDAY MADNESS 2012 - my calendar is spotted with all kinds of fun things in the next three weeks or so...i know this is all going to be crazy, so i am soaking up the lazy parts when i can take them!
