Our Trip to the Patch

Went out yesterday with grandpa Nowack to get a few small pumpkins for the boys. They've been BEGGING to get pumpkins for the last week since all the stores are selling them now. After they painted them last night, Owen got up and announced, "Okay...time to trick or treat!"

You can click on any of them to enlarge....

Enjoy....:)




LOVE A.J.'s face in this one....




I love pictures like this...to remember that at one time he was little enough to fit inside the wheel of a tractor. And he's so stink'n cute too....



Some other stuff growing at the pumpkin patch.....Being from Michigan, I'm used to cider and apples at a patch, but in the south you'll see sunflowers...



Cotton....



Peanuts....



Oh, and GNATS. There are TONS of them down here and they are the bane of my existence. At first glance you might think AJ and Steve are sharing a special moment in laughter, but if you look closer, you'll see the gnats around their heads. Gross. And they were extra pesky at the patch last night.



AJ thought he was supposed to paint HIMSELF, until we told him otherwise....



Owen's finished pumpkin.... yes, he did it all by himself.



Oh, and look - a picture of me! Testament for the boys that as they grew up they DID have a mother. I'm not behind the camera ALL the time.
Steve's dad took this one with his new camera. Not bad, huh?

Looks like ya'll (southern word maybe you'll figure it out) had a lot of fun. That's definitely a good enough reason for missing practice. I liked the family picture because YOU were actually in it for once. Grandpa Nowack is a pretty good photographer too. Also welcome to southwest Georgia home of the world famous GNATS!!!
