There Are Some Things You Can't Plan

Seeing my friend Erin's adorable pictures of little Hope at the pumpkin patch last week made me desire like pictures of my own Little frolicking in fields of orange. Since we were planning a trip to the pumpkin patch last week, I high tailed it over to our local Gymboree with coupon in hand to get an orange and brown outfit, to match the pumpkins of course, and to make our pictures perfect. Upon arrival I sensed it was going to be an "off" day...no smiles to be had, too much sun, a lingering cold and sweater tights and corduroy on a day that really called for shorts and a t-shirt...oh well. We'll mark that off our to do list for the year...

I admit that this resembles a smile, but truth be told she was crying moments later

See...

Here she is running away. Trying to hitch a ride home no doubt.

However, a day later after suitable rest and a healthy dose of Tylenol we stumbled onto some good lighting and a package from England and I managed to get these pictures

She was so happy, Grandma sent her a spooky book and chocolate buttons,

life couldn't be better really

she grinned a lot

and I grinned because she grinned

As if the day wasn't great enough, she broke into the pantry and dumped out the new box of Aunt Annie's Bunny Friends

She couldn't shove them in fast enough, life was good on this Thursday in particular.

There are some things like sour moods, packages in the mail, and spilled bunnies that you just can't plan for...
I like that, it keeps life interesting.
