FLO MO P-PATCH

Very bright and early friday morning, we packed up the herd and headed south for our 2nd annual Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch. Oh what fun!!

(Here's Grayson knocking down EVERY SINGLE PUMPKIN on the shelves)

It was Grayson & myself with 5 other mommies and 7 little ones (well, nine really, if you're counting the 2 buns in the oven). We loaded up in two SUV's and off we went...what a site we were!

We got there around 10 a.m. and decided to let the kiddos run wild through the rows and rows of pumpkins.

We tried very hard, several times, to get a group shot of our little "pumpkins",

but they weren't really interested. They have so many cute little props for "photo ops", such as big wooden trains and tractors, hay bales, and pumpkins galore...every mother's dream!

They even have a maze made of hay that was super fun! For a second.

(There goes Grayson)

All the kids ran in thinking, "oh, this is fun......woah, wait a second....um, how do I get out" they then started freakin' out when they realized they were lost! Poor Melissa, being the size 0 Mommy that she is, was the only one who could squeeze through and rescue all of them.

I think big Grace was the only one who made it out on her own. Good job Grace!

I found the same little cauldron from last year that Grayson sat in for his "1st Pumpkin Patch pic. I thought, "how cute would it be to compare last year to this year in the same exact picture?"

This Year

Apparently, Grayson was NOT into comparing.

It was a really fun day, but completely different from last year. Last year I just had to prop my little "cow" wherever I wanted and start snapping away. This year, I only got about 3 (out of 123) really cute shots.

There was no time for "posing for mommmy", there was too much to explore and deconstruct.

Needless to say, I enjoyed EVERY stinkin' minute of it! After about 2 hours of NON STOP FUN...we loaded 'em up and headed home!

Grayson and I took a 3 hour nap later that afternoon. My lil' punkin was pooped!

Thanks girls for a beautiful day!
Group shot minus Travis.....he was off exploring!
