Pumpkin Patch

I think one of the reasons I like the months October-December the best is that there is so many things to do with the kids.

 Of course January-September offer many things that we enjoy, but there is something about the chilly air, changing leaves, and the promise of even more exciting things to come in the next few months.

 We have never been to a pumpkin patch as a family before, so we loaded the kids up and set out for fun.

It wasn't what I thought it would be, you know..like in It's a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, where the pumpkins were still attached to vines...

The pumpkins were just sitting there..waiting for someone to pick them up... 

 

But the girls didn't care.

And they were having so much fun, I didn't care either. 

 It's funny how sometimes kids teach you lessons like that.

Ended the day with some pizza (Sarah's first time, and a rare treat in the Novak Household) and a classic Halloween cartoon.

Linus:He'll come here because I have the most sincere pumpkin patch and he respects sincerity.  

Sally Brown: Do you really think he will come?
Linus: Tonight the Great Pumpkin will rise out of the pumpkin patch. He flies through the air and brings toys to all the children of the world.
Sally Brown: That's a good story.
Linus: You don't believe the story of the Great Pumpkin? I thought little girls always believed everything that was told to them. I thought little girls were innocent and trusting.
Sally Brown: Welcome to the 20th century!
