The Pumpkin Patch

Lincoln climbing in the pumpkins

Learning how pumpkin seeds grow. We had planted many in our garden recently, but they died due to pests.

Listening to a story.

Singing songs

We hit the pumpkin patch this week with our homeschooling group and we did have a great time. It rained for part of the time, but then the sun decided to show itself which was nice. The kids sang songs, learned how a pumpkin seed grows, listened to a story, colored and stickered pumpkins and then we payed an left. Lincoln's favorite part was climbing all over the pumpkins and Avonlea enjoyed the coloring and decorating of her pumpkin. We'll be going sometime this weekend to pick out our family pumpkin (the big one).

If I'm being real today, I must say that my kids were having one of those "off" days today. I was so embarrased at their behavior on our field trip today. I won't say what specifically happend, but I will say that they had "a talkin' to" when we got home, lost privedges and had to call and apologize to others that they weren't kind to. I was glad Norah cooperated since she basically slept in the babycarrier the whole time. I asked the Lord for forgiveness today. Forgiveness for my anger towards my kids. I'm usually cool as a cucumber, even with "issues" when they happen, but today was just one of those days.
