When you are 3, life is good…..

Hope no one minds if I make two posts in one day…. I’m so grateful to be a Grandma.

Today I told Amber I would watch the twins while she went to Jaden’s school to help with his Halloween party. Brighton and I have had a little deal for a while, that if he accomplished a goal (which is our secret), he would get a special day with me. Last night he called to tell me that he was ready for our Special Day. It was fine with him if Brigham got to come, too!!

So we picked up Melissa and went to McDonald’s for lunch. Then after Melissa was back at school we went to the U-Pick Pumpkin patch. There was only one problem. It was closed and they didn't appear to have many pumpkins left.

Well, these boys didn’t pout or cry. We just got out to look around as long as we were there. There were others checking out the place, too!! No one was there to sell anything or drive the train. But, it didn’t matter. When you are 3, it doesn’t take much to make you happy.

First of all they gave me about 10 seconds for a photo at the entry display.

Then it was off to check out the straw bale maze.

The we had to check out the inside of the barn….the owners are trusting leaving it all open. It was very cute inside.

There was a wagon inside and, of course, they couldn’t pass up an opportunity to play with it.

Then it was off to explore the train.

Oh my, there’s a cat, we better check it out!!

Now, back to the train.

This is fun, but we still don’t have our pumpkins. Guess it’s off to WalMart…..

Whew!! They have some good ones….

We better load them carefully, so they don’t roll around in the car.

Back to Grandma’s house…..mission accomplished.
