You can never have too many pumpkins

I have determined that owning a pumpkin farm in Colorado is potentially the best idea one could ever have. For part of September and all of October, parents flock with their children to these pumpkin patches and burn through cash at a rampant pace. As far as I can tell, growing pumpkins requires dirt and water and little else.

The real brilliance in the pumpkin patch is that they piece together enough things to attract kids, such as a few bouncy castles, couple of pets and some hay bales put together in a maze. Pure brilliance. As we drove off from the pumpkin patch this afternoon on a cloudy, cool Friday morning and were stuck in a traffic jam trying to find some worker to give our $6 for our 1 pumpkin we procured from the field it donned on me.....I must buy a quarter of land and build a pumpkin patch. They will come.

Enough with my hopes and dreams of not dealing with the constant life suck of being a traveling consultant, on to the pictures of happy kids!

I'm sure we can get a 1.5, a 3 and a 4 year old to pose and smile at the same time. No problem!

Jill and Lauren were more cooperative at smiling for the camera than Cooper

How about just getting two of the three? Yeah not going to happen either, but we keep trying.

Well this one seems much more cooperative.
