Saturday should also be dubbed "crazy day". The day where you try to do everything, but mostly end up just running around and maybe getting a few things on your list checked off. While James was working like crazy to help the Hurricane Ike people muck out their homes, we went bowling with Austin and Ellie, had lunch at Phil's, and...

Found a local church doing a pumpkin patch, and Halloween festivities. They had lots of different sizes of pumpkins all sorted out to make choosing the right one just that much more tricky.


Gwen shows us the one that she thinks she likes the best (for about five seconds).

Harrison just wants out of the stroller!!!

And before we left the patch Gwen shared a little story from her festivities program. It began with a "One day when..." most of it was too jumbled to make sense. So after running around all day, skimpy naps, and way too much candy, we played outside some more to get the energy level down and when bed time rolled around I was not the only one that welcomed it with open arms.

We totally need to find a pumpkin patch. I keep forgetting it's October!
Wow, way to hold down the fort while James is gone! You are so brave. I would have officially declared a movie day....Let's not even get started on Ryan's Chicago trip. I love those pumpkins! And bowling? How did that work with toddlers? I can't believe I talked to you all day yesterday and did not hear about it! What a way to wear down kids' energy, we could use some of that around here. But not enough to even think about cutting back on candy. :)
I love picking out pumpkins! I've never taken Eric blowing before, is it an activity I should try?
I'm impressed by James' humanitarian efforts, and by your efforts to always keep your kids so entertained.
Just another typical day in the world of the Barlows...James out saving the world and Lonna being wonder mom!! That pumpkin patch was so dang cute!! It inspired me to find out what little cache valley has for a fun fall activity.
Looks like a great way to spend a Saturday! The pumpkins make it look like Autumn there. At least the pumpkins are orange!
bowling, phils and pumpkins. you don't get much better than that.
