Pumpkin Patch

The weather has been just gorgeous the past couple weeks, so we decided to go get some pumpkins yesterday. Miles had a great time exploring all of the textures of pumpkins, and Bennett liked to point out each "unique-looking pumpkin." "Mom, look at that one. Dad, look at this!" Etc, etc! The best part was the pumpkin that Bennett chose to take home as "her pumpkin." She recently received a book called The Ugly Pumpkin from Nana and Papa. In the book, a pumpkin looked different than all the rest and was picked on and bullied by others until he realized that he was really a squash. (sorry if I ruined the plot for some of you who were dying to read it!) Bennett chose a pumpkin that had bumps all over it as her pumpkin because she wanted to take home an "ugly pumpkin." I was so proud of her empathy! Here are a few pictures from our adventure...

OH and in other news...Miles FINALLY got his first tooth on Tuesday. I'm pretty sure he's working on his second one now too. Yay!!

Pulling up on pumpkins is fun!

Bennett thought this would be a good one for Miles
