Fun Story for Friday

So the preschool went to the pumpkin patch on Tuesday. Nyah was excited to go so she could pick out a pumpkin. Her heart was set on a small one, just like the one her sister picked on her Girl Scout trip to the pumpkin patch over the weekend (no pictures but it was fun!). Nyah was very, very determined to have a "pumpkin" just like this one...

Just so you get a perspective, this is Brynn's small "pumpkin" (which really isn't a pumpkin at all but you can't convince Nyah of that) next to a container of lip balm and my car keys.

Unfortunately for Nyah, this patch didn't have the same weeds as the other patch, though thankfully, there were enough distractions that Nyah managed to have a great time, like a rope swing...

and some busy bee games...

some thumbsucking friends who introduced her to a habit she has never had (never would have imagined Nyah to be a follower)...

and a buddy who needed her help to find his own perfect pumpkin...

So even if her pumpkin was larger than the one she dreamed about, it is still our smallest and I think she was distracted enough from her vision to have a good time...

I, personally, thought her choice was perfect because it fit nicely in the bag and as most moms of preschoolers know, their interest in carrying their new treasure lasts just about as long as it takes to take a picture.

It was a great day!
