My mom's friend Joan has a pumpkin patch that her husband planted in their back yard in June. He wanted to have lots of kids over to pick them and have a bounce house and hayride to make a day of it. Unfortunately, this was scheduled for Saturday, and we are unable to make it that day. But they were nice enough to still let Sage and Jaggar come over on Thursday to pick pumpkins. I really didn't know what to expect from someone that planted pumpkins in their back yard, but I was really impressed. They were huge!
I liked the scarecrow in the center.

I loved the white pumpkins. I thought they were so cool, but neither of my kids wanted one. Carl was nice enough to let me have my own white pumpkin though. :) They said it was for the baby.
Joan is also a type 1 diabetic, and she was so thoughtful in packing treat bags that Sage could have. She put candy in there that was only 2 carbs. Sage was thrilled. It's so frustrating to hear, "Well, it's just a little piece of chocolate." Sage had one "little piece of chocolate" from church one day, and her sugar was 378. It's okay. I don't get it either. I think it just frustrates me because of how much it sucks, but it was nice to have someone that I didn't have to explain things to. Here is Sage with the pumpkin she chose. Jaggar was already off to the playground by that point.
