Mayhem at the pumpkin patch

We took the kids to the pumpkin patch yesterday. It was not a hit. Scott hadn't napped (crazy kid sat in his crib for THREE HOURS babbling and playing by himself), and Juliet was being her usual, uncooperative self. Not to badmouth my kids or anything, but whatever. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Everyone started out fairly happy, when they had little mini-pumpkins to shove in their mouths. We later put those pumpkins back into the bin at the patch, which I'm sure is some sort of health code violation.


Then we thought, "Hey, we need to get rid of those stupid mini-pumpkins so we can get some pictures of our adorable children, all sweet and smiling and loving one another." Um, yeah.


Ahem.


This is pretty much the best picture of the day, even if Juliet looks like she just spotted Lindsey Lohan walking by (she's actually shouting, "Ball!" at all of the pumpkins). But Scott looks relatively pleasant.

What kind of idiot thinks it's a good idea to dress their kid in a glowingly white shirt for pictures? Oh, right, that would be me.

I don't know, I guess this one's not so bad.


"Word to ya mutha."


Watch out for the vampire.


Scott weeps at the injustice of not being allowed to bite his sister.


Juliet shouting her favorite word - "BALL!" - in reference to the pumpkin. She's kind of obsessed with balls.


Scott checks out a pumpkin.


This would be a picture of Scott throwing a tantrum in my lap. Fun times. I totally played it off, though, right? Like, No way, my kid's not writhing around in my lap in a desperate attempt to get away from me while screaming bloody murder! Pshaw! We're having an awesome time at the pumpkin patch!


But see, he can be pretty cute.


Wait. Never mind.

Check out the fat lip. That would be from Friday evening's incident at Trunk or Treat.



Juliet can't believe her good fortune - "balls" everywhere!


Travis attempts to contain his excitement about being at the pumpkin patch.


As you can see, an awesome time was had by all.
