"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

The Pumpkin Patch



Today we went to the Pumpkin Patch. GQ obviously found it to be rip-roaring fun. The girls, on the other hand, loved it.


E was reunited with a friend from preschool last year. They ran around calling after each other:
EEEEEEE
KKKKKKK
EEEEEEE
KKKKKKK

What more could a girl want?

At home, posing with the pumpkins. E was a little disturbed to find out that M (a.k.a. Mom) had chosen a pumpkin bigger than hers.

In my class at ballet we learn first position as pumpkin pie. You hold a big pumpkin and turn your feet out like a pie. E wanted to try it for real.
M couldn't quite hold that big pumpkin Mommy picked out. She was also upset to find out that we were leaving it on the front porch. What good is a new toy on the front porch?
Anyone else see "Some Kind of Wonderful" here?
What a fun way to start the week!
