The Pumpkin Patch

After school today the boys & I went with some friends to a farm nearby to get our pumpkins. What should have been a lovely afternoon, was some what marred when my youngest through a handful of sand into the eyes of my eldest.

They were playing so nicely together at the playground the farm has and then Xander just started screaming and crying. I run over to see Ethan also crying because he knew is was in deep ga-ga! Poor Xander`s eyes were caked with sand:( Ethan sat on a boulder for the rest of the playtime in the park watching the other kids play, and crying.

Not to mention “the General” (one of the boy’s friend’s brother) barking orders at everyone! It was still a nice afternoon out – but one that would have been nicer if I`d had a drink in my hand:)
