We met Aaron for lunch at a little pumpkin patch down on the town square in Bentonville. They had such a fun time climbing over rows and rows of pumpkins looking for the perfect one. Just my luck, the owners were out for a lunch break so there was no one there to actually BUY the pumpkins from....so we left without taking one. It was kind of nice, actually...because the pumpkins were ridiculously over priced, so I got all the pictures I wanted, the girls had a great time, and now I can go pick one up at Walmart for 3 bucks instead of THIRTEEN like this place was charging. At this point, Reese doesn't know that you are supposed to take a pumpkin home with you...which is kind of like when my mom and dad used to tell me the ice cream truck was "the music truck" and that we were supposed to just wave when he drove by to thank him for his service. Anyway, Reese and Quincy just loved every minute of it. Enjoy the pics!

It's not as easy as you might think to get a picture of them both looking at you at the same time. I would say, "Reese! Look at me!" and Quincy would look at her...so then i would say, "Quincy! Look at me!" and Reese would look at Quincy to make sure she was looking at the camera. This was the result.

Like her mother, Quincy is content as long as she has something to eat. She decided to try out the hillbilly art of chewing on a piece of straw. I think it suits her well.

Wow, all that walking is exhausting! She just looks so tired, doesn't she? Good thing she got that little power rest in, so she would have enough energy later to do 10 laps around the house in only underwear and high heels in an attempt to escape nap time. Didn't work though...
Give up Reese, Mommy ALWAYS wins the nap time game.

Look at those cute little toofies!


Quin is just starting to cruise along the furniture at home ...so this was perfect for her to get all the climbing she could ask for!


I found a ladybug crawling around on this little gourd...which Reese thought was very cool...until it flew onto her shirt and freaked her out. Sissy.

This one seems more like your size, Daddy!

They loved the challenge of climbing through the obstacle course of pumpkins!

What's that all about? Reese must have been practicing some of her sweet dance
moves...or she was about to fall flat on her face.

Reese found a "baby pumpkin" for baby Quincy (who is starting to not look like a baby anymore! where has the time gone?!)

Meg - I LOVE the outfits!! I think it's great to have two girls in a row! How much better does life get than to have two adorbale girls to dress up in matching outfits??
sis,
Every year your halloween/ fall pics of Reese - and q now,too - get better. I think these are my favorites, but it's tough to beat the pic of candy corn Reese we have on our fridge.
You totally made me miss my little nieces. Taylor is all grown up suddenly, and we never get to see Jordan because we live so far away, and the timing sucks when we are in ca. At least you and Hollee provide pics for us to keep up though.
Anyway, I pretty much wait all year for the pumpkin pics, so thanks for making my day. Talk to you soon.
Quincy will be able to fit in the candy corn costume this year...any suggestions for Reese? I originally wanted to make them little puffy M&M costumes and then Aaron and I could wear M&M shirts. Mine would be brown with the original M&M bag label on it and Aaron's would be Yellow and be the peanut M&M's...(he he since he has nuts) but I don't think i'm going to have time to do that now. Any suggestions would be great.
I could have her be a princess, since we have a million princess dresses lying around, but she wears one of them over her clothes pretty much every day, so i thought it would be more fun to do something different for Halloween.
Put her in stirrup pants and have her go as you.
naw, she doesn't have enough hair...maybe she could go as you.
ya know she could go as Scotty in stirrup pants...that would be AWESOME!
OH and the Music Truck...CLASSIC. i told Jordan about that and she said, "but you guys didn't notice that they passed out ice cream?" i said, "nope not for a long time." and she said, "what about the other kids on the street?" i told her i think that is how we figured it out. She ended the conversation with, "oh so they were smarter then." ...hmmm, yep!
Dad must have been off the wagone when I was a kid, becuase he almost knocked me over once as he came out to flag the ice cream man down.
He must have been re roofing the house or landscaping the yard....and the Paletero Amigo was probably out of Its Its and Ice Tickles. now THAT guy probably payed his rent off the business he got from Misty and Carlos alone.
