Pumpkin Patch!

We finally made it to the pumpkin patch yesterday. It was a beautiful day, too! My parents met us there. I took a few pictures before we left.  Yes, this was the best of the bunch- Josiah sticking his tongue out and all. (btw, the last time I tried to get a pic of all 6 was when Julianna was 2 weeks old!) This was part of a group shot but I loved Gabe's interaction with Julianna. He really loves his baby sister! Wonky color again. Argh. But loved it anyway. Sisters. Brothers. My happy baby girl waiting to go to the pumpkin patch. Another attempt at a group shot. This was the best of about 30. I tried to head swap but it just wasn't working. I hate having to Photoshop an image like that anyway. At the pumpkin patch. Gabe. My mom & Julianna. My parents just got back from a month-long vacation so they were missing the grandbabies! My mom wore Julianna in the Moby Wrap the whole time we were there! A B&W of those two. Alek. Five feet, one inch tall. Age 11. Men's shoes size 9. Gracie. Emilia. Silly Si. After the above pic, it was off to the straw maze for Josiah, Millie & Gracie, while my dad, Kenton, Alek & Gabe went through the corn maze. We spent the next hour or so here! Josiah uses the force in the straw maze. Round and round they ran, over and over and over again. Gracie again. Josiah "taking a rest." ;) Minutes before they closed, the children decided they wanted a pumpkin. Josiah again with his shoes on the wrong feet. Checking out the piglets. Alek picking out his pumpkin. One last group shot. Pick of the patch. Why did you stuff a pillow in your sweatshirt, mom? Oh. That's Julianna in there. My parents with Julianna, just before we left. :) Played w/ this one- made it vintage/added texture: Gabe only gave me a few tries so I'm pretty excited that I liked two of them! That's all!

The Pumpkin Patch

My children are unaccustomed to the sun, thus the squinting. Believe it or not, this was the best shot I got of all 5 in this spot! All but Josiah, because he's not quite 3, went on pony rides: Another unsuccessful attempt at getting a pic of all 5. King of the.... Haystacks. Mamacita (Gracie and her belated fraternal twin): Bright sun again. Goofball. LOVE this one of Alek. Had a little fun in PS with this one. Are these a little weird? Spooky? They had a "jail" at the pumpkin patch and this was looking out the jail window, complete with (fake) spider webs. Alek looking in at me. My favorite of all 5 from today: Had a little fun in PS (PhotoShop) again. I "sponged" the rainbow and the sky to bring out their colors. Sass riding in the wagon. SO typical Millie. He hung out with the pigs a bit too much today- total ham. Sassafras again. My PRECIOUS. Trying to smile or maybe the pumpkin's heavy? Gracie found a pumpkin A little more of a smile: Last one. Gosh, I just realized that Gabe is only in group shots here. I did take pics of him too, but he HATES getting his picture taken and I usually get glares from him. He's a stinker. But just so you know, I really do take pics of him too. And you can tell who LOVES to have her picture taken <cough GRACIE cough>, which is why I have so many of her. And then there's Josiah who I usually end up following around since he's the baby....
