Pumpkin Time

It's my favorite time of year! Fall leaves, pumpkins, crisp, cool air with beautiful clear-blue skies - the perfect time to visit the farm. I remember posting about this day last year, before Madeleine came to our family, when we were still anxiously waiting for our referral from Ethiopia. I'm so happy that this year Madeleine was here to join in on all the harvest time fun.

We always start farm day off with gingerbread waffles with warm citrus sauce and a big dollop of whipped cream.

Two thumbs up!
My two cute little pumpkins enjoying the wheelbarrow ride out to the patch.

Isabelle loved hunting for the perfect pumpkin...

...while Madeleine just enjoyed being outside.

I know which is my favorite pumpkin in the wheelbarrow!

After picking all those pumpkins we needed a little lunch break.

Sweet corn-on-the-cob did the trick.

"Did you see Isabelle eating that corn?! What a mess!"

Isabelle made it through the hay maze and came whizzing down the slide. (And hello random guy lurking behind the hay bales.) The resident hay expert had a great time jumping in the hay.

And the novice tolerated the hay.

Then it was time to head home and decorate our front porch.

Happy pumpkin time!
