playin' in the pumpkin patch...

today my mom and i ventured to the dallas arboretum with o & j to let them play in the pumpkin patch. i just love this time of year- the weather, football, pumpkin patches popin' up all over, fall decorations, the flavors(apple cider, pumpkin spice, etc.). really i love everything about fall and the pumpkin patch at the dallas arboretum is no exception. in fact, it might be one of my favorite aspects of this season. i look forward to this day every year and i always have great expectations that i am going to get the "perfect, priceless" picture. you know where both children are looking in the camera, smiling, their clothes are not wadded up, only pumpkins and fall decor in the background, and there is not a random stranger in the background making a really stupid expression looking directly into the camera. well, i didn't quite get the "perfect" picture (i'll try again next year!), but i did manage to capture my kids enjoying the beautiful weather and playin' in the pumpkin patch having a really great time...

it was a great day! so glad that nana (my mom) was able to share it with us. happy fall everyone!!
