Pumpkin Time

Well - I finally got my pumpkin patch pictures! Today we threaded rain showers and went over to Scott's Farm Stand right here in East Lyme. They have apple picking, a huge pumpkin patch and a corn maze - very cool for being within a 10 minute drive. The family portrait:
Looking regal - the king of pumpkins.
Edison liked trying to pick up the pumpkins. He always aimed for the big ones, so he could never hoist them up very long before they'd tumble out of his grasp. It was good fun, though.


He now likes to sit on the couches and in the big chair. He still needs our help to get into it, though.


I often find that Edison and I both benefit from a few minutes outside playing in the driveway (we don't have much of a yard and the grass is wet and full of leaves right now, so the driveway is actually a great alternative). Eben is in the process of winterizing the sailboat and there is a ton of gear from it lying about, including the big, empty diesel fuel canisters. Edison enjoys being able to drag the large cans around.
