Forgive me for being nostalgic, but after taking the boys by the pumpkin patch at their preschool this morning, I started thinking about our other pumpkin pictures. Is this really our third Autumn?? Each year, I've dressed the buddies in their favorite Fall clothes (okay, not this year - today's was a spur of the moment trip) and trekked them out to a pumpkin patch for pictures. Our first Autumn, they couldn't quite sit up, but I love the pictures of them slouched over the pumpkins. I remember thinking how much easier it would be to get a good picture when they could sit on their own. Last year, they could sit, but wouldn't sit still long enough for me to snap a picture. I remember thinking it would be easier when they could understand me when I asked them to sit still and smile. So, this year, I calmly explained to my almost 2 1/2 year olds that they should sit together, look at the camera, and say "cheese!". Ben obliged (at least for a second) but Ace was too busy bowling the pumpkins to bother. I love all three pictures like only a mommy could. Maybe next year it will be easier...
