On Saturday, we had the BIGGEST FALL DAY EVER! I’m really not sure how it happened…but it did. It was pumpkin overload for us Shulls (which is a GREAT thing!). And to top it all off…it was downright chilly all day long! Settle in people…I have a lot to show you today…
Our day started off with our annual trip to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm. Lovie and Papa Jay came up to go with us too! It was cold and very sunny (the perfect combination) but that made it really bright for pictures (why Kensington is shielding her eyes!).
My crew 🙂
I’m not sure there is anything I love more than the site of pumpkins. OK…Christmas trees…but other than Christmas trees, pumpkins are my favorite!
My cutie 🙂
I love these two! (And I’m sitting cross-legged which explains why my Hunter Boot is practically in my chin!).
I ran into my sweet friend Sarah and her family while we were there :).
The kids loved their “train ride”.
The face of a very happy boy!
Me and Mom XOXO
(And I love my jacket too…jacket weather is THE BEST!)
Kensington loves feeding the farm animals!
Smith was so cold!
Pumpkins everywhere!
The obligatory hay maze…that was actually a little difficult. My dad and I might have gotten turned around in there a bit…
My two little pumpkins!
My favorite guy!!
My other two favorite guys :).
Waiting for our hayride!
Three gals on board the hayride!
They’re best friends 🙂
I love this kid!
When we were leaving, I ran into my sweet friend Becky and her family. Becky was a bridesmaid in our wedding 10 years ago!
After the pumpkin patch, we headed to Starbucks for coffee, hot chocolate and treats!
Pumpkin Spice Latte plus Pumpkin Scone makes me a happy lady!
And then we locked our keys in Andrew’s old truck…but Papa Jay prides himself on being able to break into any vehicle with a coat hanger. And it worked!
After we broke into our own vehicle, Papa Jay and Lovie headed home and we headed to our Sunday school class’ annual Harvest Party…
The kids get to wear their costumes and run around like crazy while the adults visit. It’s perfect!
Such cute (and sweet!) girls!
My sweet witch 🙂
Two fierce superheroes!
Me and sweet G! We left the Harvest Party in time for me to get home and watch Game 6 of the ALCS…and…
…I was screaming and hollering as Boston won the game to make it to the World Series!!!!!
I seriously almost cried.
Happiest way to end my day.
All of my screaming and jumping up and down didn’t seem to affect the Yankee fans in my house…
…they could care less about the Red Sox being in the World Series. Better luck next year boys.
And yes, those are Christmas sheets. Don’t judge.
You’re judging.
Stop.
It was a perfect day :).

LOVED seeing all of your fall pics at the patch. YOU ARE IN YOUR ELEMENT AT THE PATCH. And your moto jacket? It's perfection. And the scarf with it? Perfection. And the tanks under it all? Perfection.

Love pumpkins, fall and scarves too! Shay, where did you get your red and white scarf you were wearing at the pumpkin patch?
Megan says

I'm just like you! I love decorating with my pumpkins and gourds, but I can't wait to go to the Christmas tree farm and pick out our tree for us (me) to decorate!

LOVE the pumpkin patch pics …. there's something so wonderful and fun about the annual trip to the pumpkin patch, isn't there?!
And you are so sweet – so glad you joined our little Halloween PJ Party link-up! 🙂
Ps – the Christmas sheets made my day. It's NEVER too early! Hope you and those cuties have a great day ahead!
Debbie says
Where is the pumpkin patch? Also, who does your Mother's hair? I love it! And, I'm in the Dallas area! She is so pretty, as is everybody in the Lowe-Shull family.
Daily Express says
Your mom is gorgeous and looks so young! I think we need a post on all of her secrets.

PS…..sweet cinnamon pumpkin lotion is on clearance at Bath and Body. I picked up 5 more bottles today!
Megan Marie says
I did cry at the end of game 6! Your Sox beat my Tigers! I will however, be cheering for the Sox in the World Series…American Leauge fans have to stick together, and the sox played us pretty tough! It should be a great series!
Courtney says
Ghoul-ash that is cute! That was a packed day.
Amy Flemister says
I loved this post. I cannot wait until I have kids to take to the pumpkin patch!!! I would go now without kids, but I'm scared we would look scary enjoying the pumpkin patch with no kiddos. Haha! One day my dream will come true!!
ADA says
Live your moms sunglasses! Who are they?
mel @ the larson lingo says
I agree, this looked like the best fall day ever! I love everything about it! The pumpkins, the sunny (but cold) weather, the starbucks and then a harvest party. Fun, fun, fun! So happy for you that the Red Sox are in the WS. I DID cry in 2010 and last year when the Giants went to the WS (and I really cried when they won the whole thing!!! Yay, Baseball!) And, I didn't judge *that much* about the fact you have xmas sheets on the beds 🙂
{Hi Sugarplum!} says
what an amazing day!!! makes me want to get out and get my Fall on tomorrow!!! And those gymboree skeleton jammies….waaaahhhhh, I remember those days!
