October in California

Just a year ago when we went to the pumpkin patch we were bundled in layers of clothes, this year, we were bundled in layers of sunscreen.

The trip to the pumpkin patch was far more fun that we expected - and we were lucky enough to find a real working farm with a tractor ride and everything.

Antonio loved the hay pyramid which he conquered several times.

But, the hay maze was his favorite - he went through it over and over and over.

And after a long sunny morning we took some home and decorated.

And a few days later mommy brought our bid pumpkin to school and carved it into a Jack-O-Latern in front of the class. Carving fast in front of three-year olds is hilarious - and Antonio couldn't have been more excited about it. (in fact over a month later he still randomly says, "thank you for bringing a jack-o-latern to school mommy").

Hey, whatever makes the kid smile.
