Almost just in time!

KK and I took a trip to our favorite pumpkin patch this afternoon. I'm so glad we went today because we'll probably have a foot of snow on the ground by tomorrow. Unfortunately, we were still too late for pumpkin picking. Thanks to the cold weather earlier this month they were all squishy and rotting. It didn't stop us from trying though...we grabbed a wagon and off we went! Sure enough, KK found herself the perfect pumpkin AND a ladybug. Success!!! There were also plenty of gourds to choose from, which are far more interesting and fun to play with anyway.
So, while we made it to the pumpkin patch and had a great time, we essentially headed for home pumpkinless. We were almost just in time! (With a side trip to the grocery store we brought home a jack-o-lantern-worthy pumpkin after all!)

The most important part of our visit was capturing the annual "farmer girl" picture for Grandpa K...our little KK just keeps getting more beautiful every year!
