toting at least one or two kids.
Here is a photo of our entire group eating. Look at all of those stroller.
Katherine woke up and seemed to be having a good day. At least she was having a good hair day and that counts for something when your mom will be wanting to take a ton of pictures. Her hair is in a funny stage right now with the curls and the length. Without a ponytail or a bow it can be quite unruly.
Once we arrived at the pumpkin patch, she was more interested in climbing on the pumpkins and rolling them all off of the hay bales and onto the floor than posting for a picture. I feel lucky to have gotten a few decent shots and I love the first one at the top of the post.
I was really ambitious and dressed both of the girls in denim and white. Katherine even had overalls to go with the fall harvest theme of the pumpkin patch. This was the only picture that we got. Caroline was not thrilled to say the least.
I also wore denim and white so that we could get a cute photo of all three of us. This picture is the only one where all three of us are in the frame. Between a very active toddler and a very upset baby the cute family picture was not going to happen. 
I did however get a cute picture with my half-sister, Anne. She was in town on business and finished everything up last night so that she could play today. I actually had Nana, Pops and Anne all there to help me, which makes it even more comical that I could not wrangle the family for a cute photo.
My main objective of the day was to get a cute picture of Caroline to be flashed on the "jumbo tron" at church in a few weeks when she is going to be dedicated. The rules are that they are to be alone and fully clothed. All of our cute photos are either in a diaper only or with someone else. Any time we tried to take a picture she would scream. I bought a basket and made a cute place for her to sit amidst the pumpkins. No luck. 
This was her best shot in the pumpkins but I am not sure it is the best for the church photo.
We tried a close up while Nana was holding her and they are OK.
I have until Monday to send in a picture so if I don't get a better one this weekend I have a few decent ones to choose from.
Katherine enjoyed the pumpkin house and especially the hay bale maze. It bothered her that there were gaps and holes in the maze. Here she is pointing to one.
And then she would collect hay to fill in the holes.
We finally left the pumpkin patch to go to the fountains. She wanted to take off her shoes and overalls to play in the water. She actually wanted to take off more but that was where I drew the line. The funny thing is that she is so timid that I don't think anything but her feet actually got wet.
I could not get her to put her clothes back on so the rest of our trip was in her shirt and panty cover. Here she is using a stick to point to the pumpkins.We had an overall fun day and plan to return next week. Hopefully the weather will cool off soon.
