Pumpkin Patch

Linder Farms Part 1: The first time we went to the pumpkin patch was with the MOMS Club. It was very windy that day so by the time we left, I had a mouth full of dirt, dry eyes and very tangled hair! We got one big pumpkin for Ash, a medium one for me (a very cool bluish white colored one), and a small one for Xander. Xander said that he would give his tiny pumpkin from the Meridian Scarecrow Festival to Angel so she could have one too. Xander loved leading his friend Aidan through the hay maze, but was disappointed that he couldn't ride the tractor train ride since they only do that in the evening.

Linder Farms Part 2: Later that week, Xander's preschool took a trip to the pumpkin patch also. Unfortunately that day it was raining, just a slight drizzle but enough to make it muddy. One thing about Xander is that he HATES to be dirty! In the picture where he is holding the pumpkin he got mud all over his hands and coat and freaked (I'm talking crying and screaming!) out until he could clean them. His friend Riley in the picture just wiped her hands on her pants and didn't care. What is wrong with this picture? Shouldn't it be the boy who wants to play in the mud and be dirty? He probably gets it from me since I am such a neat freak. Oh well, at least I don't have to worry about reminding him to wash his hands after he goes to the bathroom ( he will even do it half asleep with his eyes closed!)
