Davis had the day off school and I got really brave and took the kids to Huber Farm by myself. We go there every year to pick out pumpkins and I decided we had to go even if Steve wasn't able to go with us. It actually was a really great day and we had such a good time. There is just something so wonderful about fall and pumpkins and spending time together. Our rule is you have to be able to carry your own pumpkin that you pick. That was especially important this time since I had the baby in the carrier and no Dad to carry pumpkins. Davis found one that he loved and was able to carry...Emery couldn't find one so we ended up getting a little pie pumpkin at the market when we got back from the pumpkin patch. She was happy as could be about the whole thing thankfully. My favorite moment of the day is when we were walking to the car, an older man was trying to push a cart across gravel to load into his car. The cart fell over and all of this pumpkins and things he had bought fell all over the ground. Davis immediately without any prompting said 'Mom we have to go help him'. He ran over and we helped him upright his cart, pick up all his things and helped him get successfully to his car. I was so happy that Davis was so thoughtful and aware of someone needing help. A proud mamma moment! We were able to stop by and see Aunt Chelli and her boys on the way home since their new house is practically down the street from Huber Farm, so that was a perfect ending to a great day.
