Daddy, Grandma and Monkey get some pumpkins

Today was another scheduled trip to the pumpkin patch. Grandma C had arranged to go with him from the get-go, but daddy suddenly had the opportunity to go too. Grandma C had him on her lap when daddy arrived, so Monkey was totally unwilling to have daddy attend. He came around by the time that we hit the door and we were off. Grandma C helped lots of other little ones get their boots, hats and mitts on. We took the big green bus and were off. We sang lots of songs on the bus ride there, many of which Monkey has been singing over the last few weeks.
When we arrived at the patch we went for the wagon ride and then picked out our pumpkins. The notice of 'you have to pick one that you can carry' was well received by most. Monkey had to sets of big strong hands to help, but he picked a Monkey size pumpkin. We also grabbed a gourd and then we were off to the shed for an apple and a few stories. 'The Littlest Pumpkin' was by far the cutest and all the kids totally loved it.
After this we were off home, to where daddy had the camera, to clean the outside of our pumpkins for later in the week. The boys were all in for it, especially Monkey. We stored them in the closet to keep them warm for tomorrow night when we get to do some carving. We all took a moment to celebrate with some chocolate cupcakes!I wonder what the faces will look like??
