A break


Two weeks ago, on a Saturday, I took a break from the endless painting and unpacking and took the kids to a pumpkin farm and apple orchard. The kids were having fun choosing a pumpkin of their own. The pumpkin field we were in (courtesy of the haywagon that brought us out there) was right next to the apple trees, so I let the kids each pick an apple to (buy and then) eat. I chose Julia's to make sure she didn't get one with worm holes in it. When I handed it to her, she looked at me quite confused, and asked, "Is this my pumpkin?" After a brief explanation, she understood, and resumed her search of a pumpkin just her size.
The break was nice, the day was beautiful, and the kids had fun. I think next year, I may go out and pick apples...
