Pumpkin patch!

We headed up for an early start of the season by a visit to the pumpkin patch.  We were joining our friends from last year, and T.H.  Last year, Peyton didn’t get to join in the fun since she was a little young.  This year, she was coming along for the ride.  While we were driving up, Peyton started talking, but I couldn’t understand what she was saying.  When I turned around, it became clear to me what she was saying.  She was pointing up to the sky and said, “Mommy, I see airplane.”  Way up in the sky, there was a plane.  I guess she needed someone else to validate, so she said, “Daddy, look!”  We got to Matteo’s house, and while Dave took up Caro’s offer for some coffee, the kids turned the family room into a daycare full of toys.  It was amazing how quickly the place turned into toy central.  T.H. came in with his Woody outfit and hat, and I swear Peyton was looking at him like she really was seeing Woody.  She was her usual self when seeing strange people.  She was able to play with the cars with the boys, picking both Sally and Flo.  Interesting that she’d pick the two girl cars out of them all.  Caro made some muffins, and Brandon inhaled one before I told him they were made out of zucchini.  I even asked him if he thought they were good.  Totally tricked him.
We caravaned over to the patch, and as we parked, Peyton said, “Daddy come?”  We asked her if she was going to listen.  She paused, looked to the side, and said, “Listen.”  Funny that she had to think The excessive consumption of tobacco, alcohol and see that acquisition de viagra prohibited drugs can also invite ED. viagra generic sale http://www.fundacionvision.org.pa/viagra-1034.html If a man is suffering from Peyronie’s disease, he can take his partner’s help in seeking for an effective sexual intercourse.
