Stop Eating the Pumpkins!

Today, WeeBee and Lowly went to the pumpkin farm for the first time.  Lowly slept the entire time.  WeeBee, however, had an awesome trip.  I think the highlight was going on the hayride - he got to see a tractor up close and even did a little "IT'S A TRACTOR!  IT'S A TRACTOR!" happy dance.  He wandered around the pumpkin patch organizing the pumpkins.  (Apparently he's inherited Daddy's OCD-ness.)  We had apple cider donuts that were literally fresh out of the frier.  He had a great time running through a hay bale tunnel and climbing to the top of the hay bale pyramid with Paka.  He even got a little pumpkin painted on his hand.  (We weren't sure how he'd react to getting his face painted, so that seemed safer.)

Somewhere along the line, he got it in his head that you could eat pumpkins raw.  He was puttering around organizing them in the field, and then I noticed he was leaning over and licking them.  Naturally, we tried to stop him, but everyone had their hands full and it was difficult to tell when he was simply bending over to pick up another pumpkin, and when he was trying to eat it.  The one we ended up taking home actually has a few little teeth marks on it.  I don't know if he thought they were mutant apples or what, but he got a kick out of it.  (He calls potatoes "apples in the ground," so who knows.)

WeeBee's questionable hygiene habits aside, it was a great day.  :)
