Lombardi Ranch, 2013

It's October again! Time for pumpkins, costumes and Lombardi Ranch.

Cora went to bed Wednesday night asking if we could "go to the pumpkin patch" on Thursday, and repeated the request Thursday morning and afternoon.

Lucky for her, Daddy was up for it, and able to get home in time.

We were also glad to take advantage of some cool autumnal weather, which always makes the trip feel more right.

Gobble, Gobble. Here's looking at you next month, Mr. Turkey.

Cora's much better about taking photos these days, but Violet is in a "maybe not" phase. This year, the Scarecrow Alley sign posts have been overrun with rats and crows.

Of course Violet would like the Lombardi Ranch Bake Sale Wars scarecrow, while both girls liked the Angry Birds entry.

(Cora loves climbing into our bed on Saturday mornings with Stacey's tablet to play Angry Birds, and Violet can carry on playing by herself if Cora is finished. Stace finds that his tablet background is ever-changing, and sometimes it's set to "airplane mode" with the internet off. Hmmm.)

More dinnertime silliness!
