Woh! Look at us! I don't blog for a month and then wah-la...2 posts in one day!
Last week we finally got out to the pumpkin patch. We tried to head out the week before but it rained ALL DAY LONG!! We've had quite a bit of rain lately, but last weekend was BEAUTIFUL! We took the girls out with Paw Paw and Kiki and Uncle Mike out to the pumpkin patch. They both picked our their own pumpkins straight off the vine. Afterwards they went running out into the corn fields...Then Abbie found the soybean plants and she was infatuated with pulling off the soybean pods(?) and pulling out the beans. She called herself the "Queen of Soybeans"--how funny is that!! She is so "suburbia"--totally not a country girl. She is afraid of grasshoppers and anything that flies! :)
The big hit of the day was when we met this nice lady with a horse, ok, seriously, it was a great big dog-- a Bernese Mountain dog. This dog was gorgeous...and the girls LOVED him. He was so calm and totally a lap dog...oh, and did I mention he weighs 125 pounds..yes, I said 125 pounds! We had been looking at little dogs for them for some day, far off in the future. Now, they both want a Burnese Mountain dog. Sure, 125 pounds--not gonna happen! We don't even have a fence! I'll see if I can find a picture, just so ya'll can see just how big this horse, er, I mean dog really is.

How fun. I love pumpkin patches. I was so excited to see Mike, Is he going by Mike? I have always called him Michael. Tell him hello.
So the dog, horse story was so funny.
Only my family calls me Michael anymore; except for Abbie and Lauren. Actually Lauren calls me "Papa" most of the time. I guess I look a lot like my dad.
