It was a nice, balmy 90 degree day here today; so the girls and I headed to the pumpkin patch in hopes of finding the perfect pumpkin, making some nice fall memories and traditions, all the while avoiding the weekend crowds - but mostly it was for Mom to get out of the house, as our afternoon naps were cut a little short today thanks to a very inconsiderate and persistent door-to-door salesman. After I 'let him have it' and pointed out that he should learn to read and/or have his eyes checked as we have a blaring sign that says "NO SOLICITING" on our window. I shut (er...slammed) the door and was about to get online to find out who at his company would like to listen to my daughter whine and the other holler all afternoon because they were so tired - and of course a few nice words from their frazzled mother - when I noticed that our "no soliciting" sign had somehow grew legs and made its way from our window to another location not visible to anyone regardless of their eyesight or literacy level. Oops. My bad. Sorry ADT kid...Im sure you're just doing your job...but I digress.
Emma got the biggest pumpkin she could carry...and it cost me a whole $1.30, so you can only imagine its size. We even got a hayride and met a couple of pot-bellied pigs and a nice dog named Peanut. Fun was had by all!

You cracked me up with that story about the door-to-door salesman. It sounds like something I would do, then be totally embarrassed about too!
