So we get this e-mail that the church where Kenley goes to preschool is having a "Fall Festival" with a pumpkin patch, among other things. So we go, all excited to finally find a pumpkin, and the "pumpkin patch" is really three hay bales set up outside a craft fair. There were like 8 pumpkins on the hay bales - 5 with that gross gray speckly stuff stuck on the sides, and then like 3 that looked gorgeous. But they were fake.
So we'd told the kids they could get a pumpkin, so we headed to Wal-Mart, and then even THEY didn't have any normal-sized pumpkins! So they each got a lame baby pumpkin. So here's our contribution to the annual pumpkin patch blog posts. She looks as sad as I felt about the under-celebration of Halloween here.

We will have to check out the Fall Festival next year. James was on a campout this year and I didn't feel like braving it by myself.
