Pumpkin Patchin' It

I'm working on "catching up" our blog posts. We've had such a fun fall and winter I can't not share. These are from or visit to a local pumpkin patch this year, Plumper Pumpkin Patch. We had so much fun!Had a great day out playing and picking our pumpkins!
Posed for a "girls" picture.
Had so much fun on some super speedy slides!
It was too bright to cooperate for this -- ahh, the sun! Aine is crazy tall for her age, though,
"off the charts (30 + inches at her 1 year appt)."
Found out I'm 3-feet-tall -- I'm just too determined to be cute to prove it ; ).
Searched...Picked the perfect pumpkin : )!

Conquered the haystack!
Led everyone through the maze, quickly and successfully.
Wasn't impressed by this giant pumpkin.
Thought: I can lift this if I try REALLY hard!
Hmmm...maybe not, is there something under there?

Okay, thanks Mom, like that's gonna make my job easier!
Loved ridin' my pony, "Fancy."

Mmmm, Cookies

Two sweet babies, pleased with the final product!
Decoratin'...
Waitin'...
...and the actual makin'.

We are really excited to get going on those Christmas cookies! Aoife also has plans to make banana and pumpkin bread for Santa and always reminds us that we must not forget carrots for the reindeer!

Halloween

More fun passing out candy than getting it, I think!

Well, maybe we like this (In reality, I think -- once they had them open -- they only had like 8 licks of these suckers each; we'll never know how many licks it actually takes.).

Cuteness with Daddy! Aoife, insisted on being the "Bee-Fairy" for another year. Not gonna fight with that.

Super cutness with Mommy.

Master Jack-O-Lantern carvers.

What a fun day -- already excited for next year!
