Pumpkin, my pumpkin

Ellie has truly been enjoying the fall season this year. She went to the fffaarrrrmm (Ellie speak, in case you didn't guess) with Drew and friends from preschool a couple weeks ago and got to pet a goat.
Yesterday, Grammie and Grampie took her to a farm by their house and Ellie saw a pony!
Today, my girlfriends and I packed up the kids and headed to a pumpkin patch near our house.
Ellie loved being outside and jumping in the mud puddles. I really had to bite my tongue to keep from yelling "Don't get dirty!"
Kids get dirty, right? Right!
Karen's daughter, Alister, is 3 and she and Ellie really play great together.
After everyone went home today Ellie asked about 50 times . . .
"Where'd Ali go?"
"Where'd Ali go?"
"Where'd Ali go?"

NYC Jules thinks that pumpkins grow out of cracks in the sidewalk.

yes! kids get pretty dirty. and i think the more we as parents can just let it go and let them enjoy, the more enjoyable parenting is for us. just count on a lot of laundry and baths for the next many years of your life! it won't stay that way forever and then when it is gone you will probably miss it a little bit ;)
