A beautiful day in the neighborhood

So we had a great day. It started off kind of rough because we couldn't decide what we wanted for breakfast (uh hem I mean daddy couldn't decide) so it was 10 o'clock and 1 trip to the grocery store later before we ate. Then we played on the swingset ( note to self, upload some pics of the new swingset). Grant took a nap and then we were off.
On the way to the family reunion yesterday we saw a sign for a pumpkin patch. Being the Halloween aficionado that he is dh spied it and made note. We travel out in the country (lazily I might add) with the windows down, babies in the backseat chatting to one another admiring horseys, looking for cows and any other livestock. We reach the corner where we saw the big sign posted and look for directions, but it says "Oct. 15 - Nov.1". Oh MAN! We decided to drive the 5 miles up the country road just to see what we could see. We arrive and dh hops out of the car excitedly to go see if they will at least let us take some pictures, but they say they are ready. Out of the car we go. We were greeted by this.
Surprisingly, Grayson was not afraid. She's been talking a lot about spiders and being scared lately. Then it was time to set out and find the perfect pumpkin.
There were plenty to choose from, which is probably why it took so long. Grayson started with the little-ish ones.
p.s. her shirt reads "Ghoul power". we love a play on words!!!!
Grant kind of liked the bigger ones. (p.s. he started walking unassisted Monday!)
They had some cute photo op places set up, so mommy went a little crazy and was taking so many pictures you would have thought she was a from daddy's side of the family.
Me-ow. Here's the Grantster. Don'tcha know he's my little pumpkin!
We concluded our time by taking the long way home by way of Cook Out for some shakes and snacks. Grayson fell asleep in the car and did not want to go back to sleep before the birthday party this afternoon.
All in all a good day.
