Pumpkin Patch Fun - Day 139

The day started off with Shiloh running up to Nana and I with... a poison baited mouse trap in her mouth.  With the poison gone.  After a call to the vet we had to take her in for a check up, and 2 weeks of vitamin K treatment.  We have no way of knowing if she ate the poison, but the vet thought better to do the treatment anyway.  Goofy dog.

Then LSP and I spent the afternoon at a local pumpkin patch.  It was loads of fun!  We rode a hayride out to a clearing where there were hundreds of pumpkins to check out.  There was also a maze, a hay pit, a hay slide, a petting zoo area and a hay tunnel.  The tunnel was her very favorite.  She spent a long time crawling all around inside the dark tunnels of hay bales, not scared in the least!  After picking out a few pumpkins to bring home to paint (a few small ones and one big one she calls "Mama's pumpkin") we took the hayride back to the start where there was more fun - face painting, bunnies to hold, a small backhoe, an antique fire engine and a giant pile of sand.  LSP loved having her face painted.  After it was done she admired herself in the hand mirror with a big smile!  She also loved holding the bunny.  She hugged it and gave it a kiss on the nose.  What a patient bunny!

After we left we swung by the Toys R Us which was right down the road.  When we visited Great Aunt J a few weeks back she gave LSP a gift card for there, and I have been thinking about what would be the perfect thing for LSP to get.  After seeing her lately making her animals and toys talk and play house, I decided she needed a dollhouse, so we went and picked one out.  She was so excited to play with it!  She had the people who came with the house explore it for awhile, then she went and got her plastic animals, who immediately took up residence as well.

I was so proud of her today.  We were all over the pumpkin patch playing and doing activities and there was not one tantrum or screaming fit or even any fussing at all.  When it was time to go, she came quietly.  At the toy store she did not whine or beg or have a fit or a case of the "gimmies".  When we got home she wanted to play with the dollhouse right away, but when I told her dinner and bath first, she had no problems at all!  It's so much fun to spend time with my sweet little girl!

Entering the hay tunnel...

... and popping out with a ta-dah!

And right back in...

Allowing for the hair...I think she's at 2 feet, 10 inches.

OK, so the guy who I handed my camera to shouldn't quit his day job- but we look cute!

These bunny photos are so flippin' cute I can't stand it!

Mmmmm...a tasty cuppa sand.

Driving the antique fire engine...

...and ringing the bell!

And the backhoe once more.

The animals invade!  You can just barely see the penguin lying in the tub.  (Note that the family is sitting at the table, and in the absence of enough chairs, she had the mommy sit on the toilet.  Very nice!
