Eloise and I went with our friends Kendall and Halle to a pumpkin "patch" in New Bern last weekend. It was at this really cool old (as in, built in 1719 OLD) episcopal church, and was just set up really well. Apparently pumpkins don't grow in North Carolina, so none of the pumpkin patches are real "patches," just pumpkins set up in one area. Regardless, we loved looking at all of the pumpkins, and taking pictures (it's mandatory, no?).
Besides one
minor mishap *
coughEloisepoopingherpantsonthewaythere
cough* it was a good morning adventure. Eloise just happens to be pant-less in all of these pictures :) That just makes it more memorable, I guess. And these pictures of her are some of my favorites of the entire year. As my mother-in-law said, she just has SO much personality, and it shows in pictures, which I love. I'm so happy we'll be able to remember what her little face was like at this age, years down the road.

| They set up all of the little pumpkins on these flat, old grave markers (from the 1720's). Eerie, but fun! |
 |
| Didn't love playing in the dirt, but insisted on playing in the dirt. Kids. |
 |
| **favorite of the day** |
 |
| See? Personality exploding out of her. |
 |
| Little buddies. So seriously considering their pumpkins |
 |
| We call this her 'George Costanza' |
 |
| GORGEOUS little church |
 |
| We do the Mash. We do the MONSTER Mash. (also, uh, hello, Blue Eyes) |
 |
| Just
some of the cool pumpkins we didn't bring home. Too expensive. Guess
that's what happens when they have to haul in pumpkins from far away.
Sad :( |
 |
| Not her happiest picture ever, but I think she looks so much older in this picture. I can picture her as a 5-year-old+ from this photo |
 |
| HA! Love this girl's faces so, so much |
 |
| Ah! Where is your mother, and where are your pants, little girl? |
 |
| Happy happy day |
