The Great Pumpkin Patch....

Jeremy is on fall break so I took off yesterday and after we went to see our AWESOME Pediatrician I took Jeremy to the Carmichael Pumpkin Patch in Bixby, Oklahoma, for some fall fun.  It is sad to say the last time I was there Jeremy was 4 years old and we went with Grandpa & Grandma Roberts which both have passed away.  Grandma Roberts passed away October 6, 2004 and Grandpa Roberts passed away November 4, 2008, they were both so dear and special in my life and Jeremy's. I kept thinking how much fun Grandma Roberts would have had with Jeremy, she loved doing things with him.

Jeremy would not pick out a pumpkin for nothing, he just wanted nothing to do with them. We walked around checked out the animals.









He kept coming back to the pony rides. I asked him if he wanted to ride and he tried to climb the fence. We went and purchased him a ticket. Here is picture of Jeremy on “blaze” he loved the ride.

Jeremy stuffed ghost at OT and SLP and this was him with Barb and Stacy hanging them on his porch.


We ended the day going to Wal-mart with the main purpose to return a pair of sweats that were too big for Jeremy and purchase him an activity book that would keep him busy while he sit in church.  We got the item returned and was extremely proud of what a big boy Jeremy was, he stood there with me in a long line and only touched the Wal-mart computer twice and he never ran off.  I found him a cute activity book that came in a holder, 4 wonder color markers and an activity pad.  I was cruising down the little boy isle to see if they had anymore sweats in different colors for Jeremy, which they didn't.  Jeremy then cruised this one toy isle for 30 minutes or more, he did very well and I was proud.  He would touch, pick up lots of different toys and occasionally tried to slip one in the basket, which my response was, "we are not buying that."  I was proud of the fact that he was fine with that decision.  He found this tree-house, that had windows that would open, a little swing and it would all open and close.  It was going to be a knock-down, melt-down fight over that.  I found a scanner and it was $20.00.  I didn't want to be a mom that would buy their child a toy just to keep them from throwing a fit, but I was yesterday.  He has been good and I haven't bought him anything new in a long time other than clothes.  He with great pride walked out of wal-mart carrying his tree house.
