I'm Ready for Halloween!

We had big plans over the weekend to take Jacob to the pumpkin patch. As a little girl I remember going to the local farmer's market and picking out my pumpkin. There was always a little haunted house that we would go through before or after picking out our pumpkins and it always freaked me out. I have fond memories of those times so I wanted to start the tradition of picking out our pumpkin with Jacob. To me just going to Publix and getting one out of the bin just wasn't an option (that is what we have done the last few years). Halloween is by far my favorite holiday so I want it to be special for Jacob. Well Saturday rolled around and the weather was terrible. Rather than go to the big pumpkin patch with a hay ride and all that good stuff, we decided to simply go to the pumpkin patch set up by the boyscouts. This one is basically a small patch of land with pumpkins spread out. Not 100% what I was wanting but better than Publix, and Jacob wouldn't enjoy a hayride yet anyway. As soon as we got out of the car the wind hit our faces and we knew Jacob didn't need to be out in the elements. We hurriedly picked out our pumpkin and got back in the car. I was so disappointed. I at least wanted to take his picture picking out his first pumpkin. Instead we took a few when we got home. The point is we started the tradition and maybe next year will be more exciting.
