Today at the pumpkin patch we...

ran through a weed maze...

stared at a pumpkin...

had a meltdown...

had some gender confusion...

had a meltdown...

tried to do some matchmaking...


no and double no...

had a meltdown...

pulled a wagon...

and topped it off with another meltdown!



Hanging out with kids is sure unpredictable, except for the meltdown part. :) Today my friends and I took our kiddos to the local pumpkin patch. And I LOVED it! I think this will be a tradition.

But here are my favorite shots of the day. I must say I'm proud of myself for FINALLY getting Marley to smile at me WHILE looking into the camera. Brenden, it's just a matter of time... (click pictures to make bigger and better)

falling in love with fall

First of all, I'll explain my last post. Sometimes I forget that other people don't hear the same thing every day so they probably wouldn't know it was just my little Mr. Chubs slamming into the wall while carrying cooking pots around. He doesn't watch where he is walking very well.

In other news, we went to the park tonight. It's getting chilly here, but nothing stops the Jackson crew from enjoying their favorite hot spots. Yes, I'm referring to the park as a "hot spot." This is what happens when you have a kiddo. I almost like the park better during the fall when it's not so sweltering hot and overcrowded. We had fun and I must say I do love the colors and smells and feeling of fall. Living in Idaho, the seasons go from winter to summer, back to winter. And here in Arkansas you actually get all the seasons! It's so nice.
I also have the best smelling candle. I think it's called Pumpkin Patch and it's from Bath and Body Works. I would recommend it! I breathe so deep when it's burning and I remember growing up and I try not to get too emotional. Really, though, it's nice.

Here are some pictures of tonight. For some reason they look all weird shrunk down. If you click on them to make them bigger they look much better.

Here is Zack looking like a baby model right after going down the slide.


This one is my favorite.


Zack is all blurry, but I was tickling him so he was moving around A LOT! It's really not Todd's fault...
