Going Home...

We were only 4 hours away from home...but for some reason it took us about 6 hours or more to get home...we had to make several quick stops for a certain almost 3 year old with a rather small bladder...Elsie is a rather creative child and at one point I turned around to find her rubbing hand sanitizer ALL over her legs...and she spilled half a bottle of water on her lap while trying to pour it from one container to another...in attempt to keep her still we put Full House in the DVD player...she is not that into tv so the show was really just annoying for Jon and I to listen to...Just need to point this out...she really does sit in her carseat...but when it is drenched with the water from her spilled water bottle it is not very comfortable ya know...
And this little man slept almost the whole way home...he woke up briefly so we stopped to feed him (and take another potty break)...then he fell right back to sleep...on all our car trips he is a terrible rider on the "going there" part but sleeps all the way home...crazy boy...but I am not about to complain!

Our chauffeur...at least for the first half of the trip home...the second half Jon and Elsie were in Jon's car and James and I were in the van...I prefer to have my chauffeur drive...even if his crazy driving sometimes about makes me scream!

One of our stops along the way...a huge pumpkin patch...there were rows and rows and pumpkins to choose from...it took a little time to find just the right one...

So many pumpkins...I love decorating for Fall and could have loaded up on lots of Pumpkins...but our van was already quite full of coolers, clothes, toys...you name it!

We tried and tried to talk Elsie into picking out a HUGE pumpkin...but she wanted noting to do with the huge ones...then she suddenly saw this cute little pumpkin that was just her size...Love at first sight...

A smile like that about such a cute pumpkin...how we possibly say no to a tiny $4.00 pumpkin!? She is happy and that is all that matters...

We did find a huge pumpkin for James...and after we got the van thought "darn where is that thing going to fit?" We squeezed it in somewhere...and Elsie's tiny pumpkin fit perfectly right on her lap. Now we need to wait a few more week before we carve them...and I think Mommy and Daddy might need to get a pumpkin also because we can't let the kids have all the fun!
