Pumpkin Patch

Today was a gorgeous day for the pumpkin patch!  It was overcast and the temperature was just right.  Of course, I was one of those picture happy mothers.  This first one took some coaxing.  My six year old did not want to put his arm around his sister.  I suppose I should be happy that he didn't get her in a headlock! 

You know how hard it is to get a picture with yourself in it.  Well, I have been letting the kids take some pictures at home.  This is what my six year old took:

Not too bad at all, uh?!

I even got me 3 year old in on the action.  It was pretty funny though.  I brought my Nikon40x which you have to look through the viewfinder.  She couldn't understand why we weren't showing up on the screen.  Nevertheless, she got a pretty good shot:

Don't worry, after the forced posing, the kids enjoyed climbing piled up bales of hay, animals, a corn maze, and a hayride to pick a pumpkin.  Now we just have to carve the jack-o-lanterns!  What fun!!!
