pumpkins
these pictures were taken while chaperoning a recent field trip to a pumpkin patch. the trip included a hay ride, each child selecting their own pumpkin, some animal pettin,' and a picnic lunch on a 40 degree day...burrr!
while driving down the mountain this afternoon i was struck by the fall colors covering the beautiful trees alongside this winding road. surely it cannot be this late into the year...
it seems that the days and weeks passed so slowly when my little guys were quite a bit smaller. now that aidan is in school and our week quickly fills with different obligations and fun activities, these days, weeks, months are passing too quickly. i somehow have the expectation that each holiday and change of season should wait until i am prepared--selfish, i know. much of the fun of any particular season is in the preparations, and now that i am the mama responsible for making these moments memorable i find myself overwhelmed and ill-prepared. i am sure that the boys will not know the difference at this age. i guess that alone gives me time to catch up.
