A friend sent me some pictures of her kids at the pumpkin patch. They were dressed in fall colors, looking so sweet, posing nicely with a field of pumpkins behind them on a perfect sunny day with blue skies. Sigh. We used to do that. We used to have time and energy. This year we packed them up and drove to the red rooster. Not a patch but a nice heap to pick through and we could get a picture with the pumpkin mountain behind them. When we got there we turned around to find all four of them were asleep!
Eric's new plan was for us to buy them from the farmers market and put them into his vege garden so they could pick them from our own patch. Ya' it rained, it got dark, they weren't dressed. We put them there Sat morning and didn’t get the kids to them until Mon at noon.
Jia and Luk were delighted. They believe whole heartedly that Daddy grew pumpkins. Lili and Fei as usual were good sports. Got a few cute pictures.
