Last week, Jemma’s preschool took a trip to our FAVORITE pumpkin patch, Lakeview Farms. My good friend did a babysitting swap with me, so it was just me and Jemma! We were both pretty excited to have a “Mommy-daughter” date together.
Here’s Jemma with Jasper the pony. (Pretty sure that was his name…) She was in HEAVEN with that little guy.
Jemma’s preschool class up on the haystack.
It was Jemma’s day to bring snacks and when I told her, she said, “Are you serious! On pumpkin patch day! All my friends just do it at school!” Hilarious! She did a great job of helping her teachers pass out the food and despite a bit of a wasp & bee attack over spilled juice, I think the rest of the class enjoyed Jemma’s snack.
I had a WONDERFUL time being with just Jemma. She is becoming so independent and grown-up (in a little girl sort of way). It was odd to be able to have my hands free to take as many pictures as I wanted and not have another child (or 2) to wrangle; to be able to pay attention to just her and make a memory together.
I think it might be time to start instigating mommy-daughter, mommy-son dates more regularly. They are FABULOUS!
Love you Jem!
Jemma with her pumpkin of choice. She picked a cute one, huh!
Jemma with classmates Trennon and McKenna on the train. (I gotta say that after I took her pic here with her friends, I asked her to come and sit with me…was that selfish? I really wanted to share the train ride with her…)

I am loving all the pictures you take with your new camera . . . I am jealous! Jemma is looking very tall and grown up. I'm glad you got to spend some time together, just the two of you. She picked a VERY cute pumpkin!
That cute little picture of Jemma with her pumpkin, the first thing I thought (aside from cute hair and perfect little, round pumpkin) is: her and Gavin look very much alike. So cute! Glad you had fun!
