We survived the pumpkin patch! H only got angry once, and it wasn't at me or the kids....we were sitting on the hayrack for the ride out to get a pumpkin (with about 5 other people), when another family pulled up the drive. The guy was about to leave but waited for that family. They went inside the admission barn and literally, it took them like 8-10 minutes to get their sh!t together and get on the hayride. H was pi$$ed b/c the sun was setting, it was getting colder (20* F tonight!), and we were ready to go get the pumpkin already. But then S said something funny and H seemed to lighten up...
We came home with 3 big pumpkins and fun pictures of the kids playing at the playground there. We all ate dinner together, no stresses. Then H left to check cows since it will be so cold tonight, first night for a freeze around here. I put the kids to bed. Sissy took 60 minutes tonight, better than 90 but not like the 10 it used to take....don't know what is up except terrible 2s I guess...
I hope H is able to keep enjoying the kids. I thought of you tonight, K....I have teacher conferences and night class the next 3 nights in a row. I reminded H of that tonight, asked if my parents or his needed to step in. He actually said,
"No, I am traveling a lot and will be again next week, I should have them while I can be around...." so he wants to watch them the next 3 nights........
