Hooray for Peter Pumpkin Head

The title here is not related to anything except the fact that there is a pumpkin in the photo, and this song has been in my head, what with all the pumpkings being around and things. Anyway, Benjamin went on his very first field trip on Friday, with Annie's preschool class, to Remlinger Farms. Apparently the roller coaster was very scary (as a spectator sport only), but the pumpkin picking was very satisfactory. Clever Aunty Cookie helped him choose an excellent pumpkin, with a very long stem. Much easier to hold onto than just a regular old pumpkin. He thinks the pumpkin is great, and has been playing with it quite a bit. I was a little worried about him impaling himself on it and losing an eye at one point, but he narrowly missed the stem part, and has had no close calls since. Benjamin played at Grandma Pat's house on Wednesday, and came home with a this very cool Green Eggs & Ham shirt, which he has been wearing pretty much continuously since then.
