Went to the pumpkin patch on Sunday. You would think by going to a pumpkin patch I would end up with a bunch of pictures of pumpkins. Not the case here–in fact I don’t think I have ONE picture of a pumpkin. Not even the pathetic excuses of pumpkins I came home with. It’s sort of sucky going the weekend before Halloween. Not a huge selection of pumpkins. I don’t know if I’ve said the word pumpkin enough…pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin. Needless to say ours were GREEN. I think they were trying to pull them off as “designer” pumpkins but I’m pretty sure they were just pumpkins that were pulled to early. It was either a green pumpkin or one that was oozing some sort pumpkin blood.
But I digress…ON WITH THE SHOW!
First up–hay turkey. This is the point where the boys were saying “OH MY GOSH do we have to take pictures of EVERYTHING?!” And as pictured below–yes, yes we did…
Next the Corn Maze (or is it Corn Maize–haha I crack myself up!)
Clearly having trouble getting through it…
Luckily, we opened our mouths wide enough and found the way…
Still mouth is wide open. And yes I’m wearing sweatpants–I always wear sweatpants even if jeans are more socially acceptable.
And the boys slowly made their way…
Next up-HAY BALES!
I have to be honest here–the hay bale kind of blended in with the ground and I thought my husband had turned into a giant. I mean look at him compared to that little old lady behind him. He’s huge!
If you look closely at that kids face he was SO jealous of the air I got in that jump. Either that or he was wondering how someone that old could act so immature.
Yeah, sweatpants and hay don’t mesh well together.
Finally, we spent a lot of time with the animals…
There’s goats…
And future goat fries.
And Wilbur…
My husband, the Sheep Whisperer
And finally, this scary guy…
I think he’s an alpaca (I’m sure you all know!) but he didn’t look happy and he looked like he was going to spit at me so naturally I took a picture and ran.
But now I have an IMPORTANT question–if I could not find the advent calendar to give away would a Target gift card suffice?! My husband said that it is not nearly as good as an advent calendar but I have to disagree–I mean not EVERYONE even celebrates Christmas! Give me some feedback please!
Hi Everybody! I'm Angela. I love my dogs, adore my husband and try to make the best out of everyday! 
that looks like so much fun!!! i have to say i’m surprised you didn’t sneak in a picture of Lexi and Sadie
was the alpaca a substitute? hehe
great pics! looks like you had a great time! that is one UGLY alpaca
a Target gift card would be great — OR you could give away your copy of Twilight! i thought about giving mine away to a blogger, but my sis wants to read it first
Looks like you had such a fun day! And it’s great that someone took pictures of you. I’m always the one with the camera, so I hardly even exist in pictures (sad face).
See, I love being the one with the camera because then hopefully my face will never be in a picture!
Loved the pumpkin patch photos even if you didn’t get any good pumpkins. We were lucky this year in Ohio and the pumpkins were huge. I think my favorite pic would have to be of the boy who is jealous of your “air.” Hee!
Angie in OH
Looks like a fun time. We don’t have too many of those places around here. unless I want to drive far which I usually don’t. You should have posted pics of the pumpkins anyway.
You all must of had a blast!!! The pumpkin patch looks like so much fun. I wish there was one close to us. But I can’t believe there wasn’t any good pumpkins, how sad.
We did the apple orchard, have yet to do the patch. I have never seen big girls having such z good time in a maze like that, you crackeddd me up!! great pics! L A
I loooove advent calendars, but would also go wild for a Target gift card.
You guys look like you had so much fun! Pumpkins or not!
Gift Cards….because you can’t eat an advent calendar.
Love the GOATS!!!!!!
Ok, I love when adults have more fun at the Pumpkin patch then the kids.
And I vote for gift card.
Gift cards are great!
Hay bale turkey, check.
People with questioned maturity, check.
Goats, check.
Pigs, check.
Sheep, check.
Alpaca, check.
Dogs, what? No dogs?
hahaha! love the pics! i don’t go for the pumpkins either! it’s all the fun stuff!!! k – the alpaca or the llama or whatever the heck it is – looks possessed. stay away! looks like you had fun!
and the Tar-Jay G.C. is perfect. then the winner can even order it online…or whatev…
Hoorah for the sweat pants! Love the corn maze post. LOVE IT! I’ve got one coming up too. Also? Goats? They are evil. Evil I tell you. I much prefer pigs.
Also? Where are the dogs?
I thought that llama beast only existed in my nightmares! He LIVES!
Gift card=Ok with me.
awww I want Wilbur.
And dude, you totally got air on that jump. SO RAD. For sure.
looks like you all had so much fun! cute pics!
I heart ANYTHING that comes from Target! Great pictures, looks like you guys had a blast.
Ha ha. Cute pics. And you look great in sweats. Sweats are great when done right!
Man, I agree, stay the heck away from the spitting possessed animal!
We don’t even get corn mazes here, we get hay mazes. Although, it’s huge, in the shape of Texas. It looks awesome, but I am having trouble finding time to go.
See, if you get a gift card, you can pick the picture and it’s still a gift! So, yeah.
I’m sure your sweats were covered in hay that could not even be picked out easily. I’ve attacked hay bales while wearing sweats once before,
Love the commentaries of the photos!!! Brings them to life. Oh, and Target is one of my favorite stores, EVER. Perfect gift!
Oh you guys look like you had so much fun!!
it looks like you had a great time…. I too love the sweatpants, but I try to make them sound a little more uptown, by calling them yoga pants, not that I do yoga, but I could, and I have the pants for it…..
I want to jump in a huge hay pile! That looks like fun!
The pumpkin patch looks like so much fun! We went to WalMart and picked our pumpkins out of cardboard boxes. We’re so lame. Thankfully I don’t have kids or else I think that would be grounds for child abuse.
I have maintained for several years that the greatest gift of all is not love but rather a Target gift card.
I have to ask…Why is this post put under the category of Burger King? I’ve looked high and low for a whopper but never did see it. My family owned a BK franchise, so those words just POP out at me LOL
I grew up in Michigan and I have never been in a corn maze. It looks like you had a lot of fun with the maze, the hay and the animals.
I wear black pants all the time. As Jennie said – mine are called Yoga pants. Although I can prove it, it says it on the tag – Yoga pants Yepppers that’s what it sold it for me right there lol
Kristin
Ooooh, Target gift cards are ALWAYS the perfect gift. :0)
Kristin-the category is Burger King because that is the nickname I’ve bestowed upon my lovely husband!
And I decided since there was 800 pictures of animals on here we could give the dogs a day off…they’ll be back tomorrow–in full force. And in a couple of days–HALLOWEEN pics!
I love all these pics!! You look like you had so much fun!
Hallie
Those are the BEST photos! I’m jealous that I wasn’t invited. *huff*
lol
I agree with the others…GC to Tar-jay = awesomeness!
~melody~
Give us our advent calendar or I shall RELEASE THE ALPACA!
I’m bummed I haven’t done anything “fall-ish” this year so far. It looks like so much fun! I lived in Ohio the last three years (as opposed to Texas now) and apple picking was always the thing there. I don’t even know if I could find one here??
Here’s to you, your green pumpkins, Wilbur and Big Air on Hay Bales….And thanks for the saucy comment….much appreciated….
I. Love. The Turkey. Seriously.
Love the animals too. All it takes is a sheep or a pig and I’m a happy girl.
HAY! I love hay and corn and pumpkins and goats with their crazy eyes.
These photos are SO great!
I love the sheep whisperer. You are one. funny. lady.
Does no pumpkins mean you aren’t entering my contest??? How sad…. Looks like a hell of a time though, and don’t feel bad, I too adore sweatpants
This cracked me up. Especially the part where the boys asked, ‘OH MY GOSH do we have to take a picture of everythinig?’ and the answer was a resounding ‘yes.’ That is my life in a nutshell!
First of all, I love the new picture of you on your introduction! LOL
You’re too much! Your recap was tha bomb! The pictures…even better!
I wanna roll in the hay!…that’s what he said.
Oh hell yeah you can just send me the Tarjay GC. No worries.
You seriously CRACK.ME.UP! I love the open mouth is the key to finding the way theory.
what a fun day. your photos crack me up – or maybe it was you commentary. very funny. hey, a giveaway’s a giveaway – you’re the boss. whatever you choose is great.
That alpaca is seriously demented looking. I’d have run for sure. And Target giftcards are NEVER a bad thing.
Looks like a grand time! We were lame and didn’t take pics of our Corn Maze experience. Oh well. And Target money is always fabulous. Who doesn’t LOVE that place?!
It looks like you had a great time. Who could go wrong with a Target GC!
HOLY GIANT STINKY GOAT NUTS!!! Goat fries–fricken hilarious!
Did no one else notice this besides me? Or maybe I’m the only one that has the “balls” to say it. HAHAHA I am killing myself here!
Did you miss me? heehee
I love your pumpkin patch pics! The giant one is hilarious!
“It was either a green pumpkin or one that was oozing some sort pumpkin blood. ”
and youdidn’t get pictures? Was your camera too exhausted from all the others???
Speaking of which, I’m just trying to think up any excuse to “borrow” one of your goat pictures and post it on my blog. Would you mind? I’ll certainly link back to you if I do.
And for the record, I’d take a Tarjhay gift card over an advent calendar any day!
And thanks to you AND me, Carrie had the opportunity to exclaim HOLY GIANT STINKY GOAT NUTS twice (hee hee)
My Gammy got lost in a corn field for two hours. Love doing the maze thing!!!!!
