We went to another local pumpkin patch, with pumpkins galore, ponies, farm animals and face painting. I love to support local businesses, and I thought this would be a wonderful way to spend the day with my little nugget.
I decided to throw caution to the wind, and disregard nap time. I shoved that little voice in my head that said, "this is a horrid idea" behind a locked door. Let me bring you yet another pumpkin patch visit in the narrated version via my interpretation of toddler gibberish.
"Look, mommy, a playground! And a slide! It's my favorite!"
"Let's burn this joint. We've already been to a pumpkin patch this year. Who needs another? It's free anyway, so we've got nothing to lose."
"I told you, I don't want to ride the pony. He could turn on me at any moment! You can't fool me into thinking he's a docile creature that wants to be my friend. None of my friends look like that."
"No! I don't want to ride this dumb pony! Since you won't listen to me, I'm going to scream at the top of my lungs and jump off this animal. You can't make me ride this damn pony!"
"Hey, this train ride is cool. It's so calm and relaxing. Oh, look! There's that evil monster pony! Hey, Mr. Pony!"
"Don't you see how flush my cheeks are? I'm over it. Let's go."
"All of these pumpkins are mine! Tell those other kids to back off. We've got some pumpkin pie to make later, anyway. You promised."
"Weeeee! Pumpkins! Anabelle, you are totally missing out."
"Sure, I'll fake smile for a quick photo op in this dirty wagon. Let's pretend we are having the best time EVER because I'm about to throw down another tantrum in 3...2..."
"One."
Until next time, friends. I hope your pumpkin patch visits are heavy in entertainment and light in tantrums.
Looks like a great time. She looks a little unsure of the horse though! :)
