PUMPKIN SEASON

The other weekend we went pumpkin picking! What a blast.



We were joined by Aunt Barb, Uncle Mike, Chris and Matthew...



The Donohues x 2! Uncles Greg and Barry, Aunts Jenny and Kristen, and Lily, Ryan, Bobby and Sean.



The hayride was a real highlight.



It was George's first wagon experience.



He was a little wild and free without his car seat restraints, so I was a human barricade.



Here's my favorite lunchtime partner, Lily - and her family.



And my buddy Christopher, who is so happy I'm finally a Garden State resident!



George is all anxious. He keeps asking me when we hit the Pumpkin Patch.



Plenty of pumpkins for everyone, George - they never run out.



George thinks Bobby and Sean are hatching a pumpkin-plan to scoop up all the best gourds. The kid needs to relax!



Our gang's all here... (Almost! Ryan must be in the hay bale maze.)



Me and my main gal, Lily.



So, Lily - I was thinking we should maybe be exclusive lunch-partners...



What? Him? But Christopher doesn't even GO to Parkside.



I can't believe it! Chris is moving in on my girl!



He's a wily charmer, that Mariniello...



WHAT! George?! I can't even trust my baby brother. Lily is inspiring crushes left and right.



George wisely suggested we put aside our romantic pursuits and head for the hen house.



Best to just give Lily some space.



Of course, if I have all the baskets, a certain red-haired girl may need to borrow one...



And finally: in the patch.



George is blown away. There are pumpkins EVERYWHERE!
