One day while driving along with the kiddos, we passed two women running together on the sidewalk. Evelyn was all excited and yelled, "Look mommy, cool runner girls like you!!" :)

Pumpkin Patch

We took a trip to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday to enjoy the sunny fall day and hopefully get some great pictures. I had high hopes -- beautiful day, cute outfits, new camera -- this was going to be perfect!! Here is a picture that pretty much sums up our experience:

As you can see, Noah just sits like a sack of potatoes (which is fine with me!). Evelyn is busy trying to escape, or bugging her brother, or refusing to smile... but we did manage to get a few decent pictures. (Between Sally's camera and mine, we probably took 200 pictures!)






I definitely learned my lesson. I think I am going to put the kids in their Halloween costumes on numerous different days and have many photo sessions. That way I will increase the likelihood of getting a good picture!!
