Pumpkin Patch, Take 2

For those of you who are blog regulars, you remember last year's Pumpkin Patch debacle. Major meltdown at the patch, which continued in the car ride home. We had high hopes that this was our year. We had such grand visions of our happy family, Titi Ica in tow, frolicking through the Pumpkin Patch, only this year EK would be old enough to enjoy it...

Yeah right.

She had other plans. They included running wild through the fields and throwing rocks as well as tantrums.

Excited to be in a Pumpkin Patch. Smiling and following directions.


Thrilled with her prize, until she noticed the back side was completely rotten.


Still being good, but her attention span is waning. She was not happy with the truck of pumpkins since we wouldn't let her throw the pumpkins on the ground.


And she's off!


With all of the activities, food and treats at the Pumpkin Patch, Miss Sassafrass would rather play with rocks. That's my girl.

Happy Halloween

Since my 22-month-old little girl is the size of a three year old, cute and cuddly Halloween costumes aren't as easy to find. We opted for a 50s girl, complete with poodle skirt and cateye glasses. She looks so much like my Mimmie in her glasses! It's only fitting, since we named EK after her. Enjoy. :)

Month in Review

I've recently come under intense pressure to get this blog updated with recent pictures of Miss Sassafrass. Admittedly, our lives are bit more hectic now. My new company brings more work hours and Ella Kate demands much more attention. But, that's no excuse for keeping our little girl's preciousness from the world.

Without further adieu:
