Pumpkin Patch, Bob Evans, and Carving

After work yesterday, I picked up Evan, then Andria, Mike and I all met at Tuttle's to take Evan to the pumpkin patch.  Now, Tuttle's isn't THE pumpkin patch to go to in this area, but it's not quite 15 minutes from home (or the sitter's), it's open until 6 on the weekdays, it's super-cheap ($3 for kids to play and free parking), and we've gone every year since Evan was 4 months old.  Evan had a great time playing.  We even bought a bag of amazing Golden Delicious apples, I priced the blueberry pie I'm buying for Thanksgiving (since I don't do pie well), and we got apple cider slushies (better than you'd expect). 

This morning, I realized my Bob Evan's coupon for a buy one, get one breakfast was going to expire, so we went out for breakfast (my fave).  I've included a picture of Mike and Evan at the table.  Evan was tickled that the name of the restaurant had his name in it too.

We carved our monster pumpkin tonight.  Evan was all about it until he took one look (and one whiff) of the pumpkin innards.  Then, it was all Mom and Dad after that.  He did manage to smile with it when we were finished.
