Pumpkin Patch

We had an awesome day today out at the Maris Farms. Grayson loved all the pumpkins and literally wanted to touch every one. He also attempted to pick up several HUGE ones but quickly realized he wasn't going to be able to carry one home. Maddie was all over the pony rides....as always. On our way out she got to see lots of horses...so once again the subject of "why can't I have a horse" came up. I explained the long list of very expensive reasons why it just is not a good idea. She let out a big sigh at the end of our conversation and said, "It just doesn't seem fair....I have to save up to buy a horse, but then I have to save up all over again to buy a big back yard." Then Brian chimes in and tells her that horses take big craps the size of her room. Maddie came back with "Ya and so do you dad." I couldn't help but bust up laughing....Ahhhh... aren't family car rides interesting.
