Talk about cutting it close with my Happy Pumpkin Picking Halloween Wonderful Wednesday share from Miss Emma, but still here I am putting this article together on Tuesday only a few hours before I need to get the article posted for the Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop.
See, as most who read and follow my blog know, I was out for most of this sunny Monday enjoying Emma’s class trip to our local farm (yes Eli is was perfect and thank god for the postponement for much nicer day for sure), which we actually had taken the girls pumpkin picking at this same farm for the first time back when Lily wasn’t even a year old.
Three Years Ago Halloween Pumpkin Picking…
Here is the thing, I know the girls are growing up, but still looking back on photos from that day of pumpkin picking, I still can’t believe how much (I say this a lot lately, but still this picture made so nostalgic for earlier crazy baby days with my girls).
Lily was not even a toddler (barely a year old), let alone the little girl she is now.
And Emma was finally having her hair grow in (yes she will always be my baldy baby, who was still bald at almost 18 months old!).
Yesterday Halloween Pumpkin Picking…
But still, yesterday’s pumpkin picking trip reminded me that the girls, Emma especially being in Kindergarten is growing up right before my very eyes.
She still young enough that she wanted to sit with me on the bus trip to go pumpkin picking, as well as hold my hand at the farm and also not too embarrassed by being seen with her mom yet.
Trust me, I know that day will most likely come, but happy that as much as she is growing she still needs and wants me.
And she is still innocent and sweet enough that all she comes into contact with just adores her for it.
Ironically enough, I was conversing with on of my very dear bloggy friends, Tamara, yesterday after the trip about this and she definitely made me realize this and so much more about this.
By the way, as tired as Emma was from her long day out pumpkin picking and so much more, she still had time to decorate her newest pumpkin picking addition (yes we got other pumpkins from our recent Hicks trip), as well as all the pumpkins we have gotten this past Fall season with stickers (her idea) with funny face.
She even told us to take a quick video to wish all Happy Halloween with the decorated pumpkins.

You are smart to just savor every minute! One of my girls is on her own, and the other is so busy she no longer has time to carve/ decorate pumpkins

Janine,
I bet you were so stress trying to get your post together at the last minute. I hope you had a great time. It looks like Emma did. Her pumpkins are so cute.
Thanks for sharing!

Michelle @ A Dish of Daily Life says
We were just talking about those trips to the pumpkin farm on our run the other morning. I miss them. They were so much fun. My kids aren’t interested anymore. 🙁 My youngest is even debating whether he wants to go trick or treating, which makes me kind of sad. My middle child is having a Harry Potter movie marathon party.
Thanks for the party too…all linked up! 🙂
Amanda @ Growing Up Madison says
She is just too cute! Happy Halloween Emma and Lily and of course Janine and Kevin. Wish we could celebrate with you but I may make it next year so we can go trick or treating together. Love you all!
Aunt Gloria says

Alexis @ BabyStuff.tips says
The pumpkin picking looks like so much fun. So great that you have photos from each year to look back on.
Kim says
Wow – I think I’m going to be the first and I’m still way done the list. Love that Emma still had time to wish everyone Happy Halloween.
Alison says
Aw, sweet girl. Happy Halloween!

Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
Awww, look how little they were! I love looking back at old pictures.
Bev says
Wow, look at all those pumpkins! It’s amazing how much they grow and change in such a short period of time. The other night I was thinking about how Eve looked when she was a month old, and I couldn’t believe how different she looks now!
Rosey says
The video is cute. You guys really did get a lot of pumpkins this year. The more the merrier! 🙂

You pictures were precious then and they are precious now!! And that adorable video!!! Look at all her pumpkins too!!! This just makes me smile so big this morning!!!!
Jhanis says
That was a lot of pumpkins! My 3 yo was also bald when she was a year old and looked like a boy LOL
lisacng @ expandng.com says
They certainly grow up fast!! I think my daughter will also be a bald baby for a while ;). So glad you had a great day at the pumpkin patch and a great time decorating pumpkins! Can’t wait to see Trick or Treating pictures!
Kimberly says
Hello cute lady! It is so fun to stop by and party with you. Thank you for hosting. I hope you get a chance to stop by our party. We would really appreciate it! http://loulougirls.blogspot.com
Happy Wednesday! Lou Lou Girls
Jen says
That video is super sweet and that was a mighty big pumpkin! It is so very hard to see our babies grow up. On one hand I get such joy Stu of each stage and new growth milestone reached, but seeing old pictures always makes me miss the preceding stages.
Rabia @TheLiebers says
Just so you know: Girls who were bald at 18 months turn out to be pretty beautiful women!! I speak from personal experience! LOL!
Tamara says
Awww!! Happy Halloween to Emma!
We had our parent teacher conference last night and the teacher used the words “sweet” and “innocent.” And I discussed with the teacher and some other parents about some mean girls that already are there.
Sigh.
I blame their parents.
Love you!
Camille says
Aww, super cute video!!
Brittnei says
Oh my goodness. You all with 400 linkups is just crazy! Emma and Lily were so cute! We still haven’t taken JR pumpkin picking or apple picking just yet. I found this farm though not too far from us and I think I might be able to go maybe in December. Not sure what we grow here in AZ during that time, but I know we can basically grow things year round. So we’ll see!
Celeste @Leapfrog and Lipgloss says
That video is totally adorable. Holy pumpkins! 🙂
Pam@over50feeling40 says
I miss taking my little ones to the Pumpkin Patch and to cut down Christmas trees…so much fun! Thanks for sharing with the Thursday Blog Hop!
The Pinterested Parent says
Oh my goodness. They have changed so much. It is crazy. I was looking back at old photos today too & it seems like some of the photos are a lifetime ago. Your girls are just darling that much has not changed. Happy Halloween lovely ladies.
Rea says
I really hope we have a Pumpkin farm like that in my place. As far as I know, we don’t grow that here. We only have squash! Haha. 😀 But still your photos are so cute!
