i was excited to take niya to the pumpkin patch, since this halloween she was not only like 2 seconds old. i wanted to go sit her in the pumpkins, and take a million pictures, just like i remember doing my entire childhood. my mom, and dad were coming for niyas first birthday, so i thought it would be fun to do with them. when drew got home later that evening, i told him we went to the pumpkin patch with niya. this is how the conversation went
drew: how was your day? what did you guys do?
me: it was really fun, my parents, and i took niya to the pumpkin patch, and took pictures
drew: what do you mean?
me: what do you mean what do i mean. we took pictures at the pumpkin patch
drew: whats a pumpkin patch?
me: what?? are you kidding me? its a big farm where you go, and pick out pumpkins. didn't you do that as a kid?
drew: no we just got ours at the grocery store
i couldn't fathom that he didn't go have photo shoots at the pumpkin patch, and then pick the perfect pumpkin out of rows, and rows, and rows of pumpkins!
its funny the things you just assume everyone does, and so surprising when you find out they don't
niya will always know about photo shoots at the pumpkin patch, and its a good thing because she looked so cute in them
Um, Andrew's crazy. We didn't go to the pumpkin patch a lot, but I can think of several times we picked our pumpkins out from the pumpkin patch. I remember I sort of hated going, though, because it always took everyone so long to find one. Maybe that's why we stopped going.
ReplyDeleteBut, we never did have any photo shoots at the pumpkin patch :). We should have, though, Niya looks super cute!
Yes, apparently Andrew doesn't remember very well. We actually went to a giant pumpkin patch for a number of years (where did you think we got the giant pumpkins that a 1 year old could fit inside?!!) and yes Amanda you are right, we then changed and started going to the farmers house and walking up and down the rows picking our pumpkins. I think I actually did take a few pictures but not a real photo shoot. I'll have to find them so Andrew can remember.
ReplyDeleteso when did Niya become a toddler, she looks so old! Tell Drew we go every year and do the photo shoot at the pumpkin patch, but we leave empty handed. The pumpkins at the grocery store are much cheaper!
ReplyDeleteI with you Sum, who doesn't have memories of going to a pumpkin patch?! Anyway- Niya is adorable as ever. Love the photos- I can't believe she is already 1! Time flies.
ReplyDeletei was thinking it was really weird drews family wouldn't do something like that. i guess drew just didn't think it was worth remembering. she looks so cute.
