P is for Pumpkin








Today has been a fun day! I started doing Hooked on Phonics with Gage this past week, and today was letter P! So.....we went to the ppppPumpkin ppppPatch! The kids had a good time and we picked out some pumpkins to bring home.




We got to the patch and I told the kids that we were going to take some pictures and then before we went home we would pick 3 pumpkins each.....they agreed and I start taking pictures......2 pictures to be exact, when my camera batteries go dead!! This always happens to me! You would think that I would learn to carry a spare battery....nope not me. I load the kids back in the car and we run down the road to Walmart and get a new battery. Once we got back, we spent about an hour playing and taking pictures. I kept telling MacKenna to say pumpkin, but she insisted they were balls.




Both kids picked out 3 pumpkins and we were headed home. I stopped to get us a drink on the way home and reached down to grab my wallet and I couldn't find it! I backtracked and realized I probably left it in the basket at Walmart or it fel out of the car at the pumpkin patch. Super stressed I was headed back to Walmart, and then God calmed me by using my sweet boy! Gage said from the backseat, "hey momma you want me to ask Jesus to help you find it?" It was precious in his thick Texan drawl. I said, "Yes Gage, lets do that." He went on to pray a sweet and simple prayer asking the Lord to help mommy find her wallet and when we got to Walmart some honest person had turned it in to customer service! Gage said "see momma I told you he would help." I love that Childlike faith!




So like I said, it was a fun day.....and I think he will remember the letter P!

Oh, so adorable! I love fall and all the pumpkins everywhere. We went to a pumpkin patch this weekend too.

I can't believe how big your kiddoes are! Growing so fast! I'm so glad you can stay home with them and teach them the things that only a mommy can.
