Pumpkin Patch... Round 1

Today Luke desperately needed a nap but was really fighting me on it. So , in the spirit of good Parenting skills, I bribed him. Initially Dave and I wanted to take the kids down to Laguna and walk around all bundled in our sweatshirts as its the first day in months that warranted wearing one. But when I threw that one out there to Luke he did not bite in the slightest. " I don't care about the beach" So I had one that I knew would work. "If you take a good nap we can go to the Pumpkin Patch when Daddy gets home" Done. He was in his bed asleep in 3 minutes flat.
We had a great time... all 15 minutes of it. It was really windy and once the kids went on the $5 pony ride thats all they wanted to do, so we thought it best to head out before we were broke. Ella walked up to about 25 different pumpkins and either hugged or kissed them. And Luke really enjoyed the pony ride, he thought it was really cool and kept saying, "thank you for giving me a ride, Pepper."
I am sure we will be back soon as it is a tradition to go with my whole Family each year. We have been doing this since Johnson's Bro's opened years ago so its really fun to take the kids here.

Jill, Ella has on the most adorable shirt! Where did that come from? No wait, let me guess, Janie and Jack? Please say no, because I definately won't be able to afford it!

I am laughing right now. Yes, its from J and J. I did get it on sale last season if that makes it any better. I do that with a ton of stuff from there. I get it at season end when they do all their big clearance sales, only O get it all in the next size. I have a ton of Summer stuff for ella in 3T already. Its a great way to get super cute, great quality clothes at an affordable price!

Okay, those pictures are so cute. You know I think the world of your kids, and maybe I am slightly biased, but they are so stinkin' cute. We need to plan when we are all going to the Patch together. Perhaps a FHE night coming soon...
