PLAY DATES, PLAYGROUNDS AND PUMPKIN PATCHES OH MY!

Our  little life has kind of fallen into a wonderfully simple routine.  Every week we have music class, Parents Day Out usually followed by some sort of playground time or a play date with one of our little friends.  Midweek, we hit up a story time that Elle has just started to love where we see more of our classmates from PDO and I get to see some of their mom's that I have gotten to know better. Kenny and I try to take Elle to the park several times through out the week because she loves it so much now that she is walking.  Then almost every Friday we have a play date with our favorite little boy, Loftin.

Loftin and Elle are buds. Loftin's mom, Lindsay and I have grown so much closer and I would count her as a close friend these days and because of that our time each week has become so much fun as the "babies" have grown older.

The last couple of weeks they have played they have given us a few cute photo ops.  Photographic evidence below!
Taking a little break from playing for a snack. Elle found Loftin's galoshes and was loving them.
After sharing a very messy chocolate Fiber One bar they felt a little hug was in order.

And then the cutest and messiest smooch ever.

This past weekend we took Elle to a nearby pumpkin patch.  We are still trying to decide if we want to take her to a big farm pumpkin patch. But this one was a lot of fun and provided nearby picture taking while our house was being shown. I would like to note that Elle is wearing the same dress she wore to this same pumpkin patch last year.  None of the clothes I have bought her from this season fit her.  Little munckin. Going to have pull out the stuff I put in storage.

We had a great time just letting Elle pick out the best pumpkins.  We ended up getting two nice big ones.  One for carving and one for sitting on the porch.  Then we let Elle choose a little one.  This pumpkin patch happens to be in front of her PDO and next week they are doing a hayride and story time in the pumpkin patch.  I would be lying if I said I didn't want to park and spy on that little excursion.
 Family pictures are hard these days.
 So many pretty pumpkins.

 Look at the ridges on this one Mom!

          After the Pumpkin Patch we went to a restaurant/bar (no judgement) 
to watch the State game. Elle was having a good time

P.S. Elle is obsessed with the pumpkin we have on our back patio.
Wants to kiss it and hug it each time we come home.
