Mass Confusion and a Pumpkin Farm
Be prepared for a long post and LOTS of pictures :)
Well our plan for Sunday was to go to 8:30 mass, head over to Bengston's Pumpkin Farm, and then be back home for most of the Bears game...it would have been a great plan if there was an 8:30 mass....apparently Wally and I are losing it. We have been parishioners at St. Lawrence O'Toole for well over a year now and have attended the early mass quite frequently over the past couple of months. Somehow though, we forgot that mass is at 8 and not 8:30. Wally let Lucas and I out at the door as usual (we didn't notice that no one else was walking in) and proceeded to park. I walked into the church and they were doing the collection and bringing up the gifts...uuhhh what?!?! So I walked right out and began walking to the parking lot. Wally saw me and was like what is going on. I told him that apparently they changed the mass time. We went to church in La Salle last week since we were there so I figured that St. Lawrence must have changed the mass time in that one week we were gone, but it seemed odd to me only giving one week's notice. Anyways...we laughed about it and thought for sure they changed the time because we would have never made 8 AM mass in the past. So we decided to make a quick run to Wal-Mart, have some breakfast at Panera Bread, and then come back for 10 AM mass (if they had one that is, we were so confused!).
We enjoyed our breakfast and at one point Wally asked me what time it was, I looked at my watch and said 9:25, he was like 'that's it?' So we passed some more time, changed Lucas' diaper, and headed out the door for church when my watch said 9:45...but when we got in the car, the clock said 10:00...Wally was like I thought you said it was 9:45, it was per my watch. Apparently, my watch stood still for about 15 minutes at some point, but it was still ticking...weird! So here we go again....we head to church planning on just being late as long as there was even a 10 AM mass to attend...there was...thank goodness and we were only about 5 minutes late! What a morning! Oh and when we got home, I checked the magnet we have with the mass times, and yep, mass has always been at 8 AM...what were we thinking?!?! Anyways...Lucas slept through the second half of mass and in the car to the pumpkin patch in Homer Glen (about 30 minutes away) so he got a good nap in!
We finally arrived at Bengston's and decided we wouldn't rush and would just get home when we did. We would check the Bear's score on our phones. Bengston's is a very busy place...it is pretty 'commercialized' if you can call a pumpkin farm that. Wally and I had been there twice before in our pre-Lucas days, but we went to a different farm the last two years that was 10 minutes from our house. We thought we would try Bengston's again though especially since we can still get by pretty cheap since Luke is still so young. We had a gorgeous fall day and really enjoyed ourselves. Oh and to add to the craziness of the morning, we were at the car getting ready to head home, when I noticed that Luke only had one show on...uuggghhh...when did that happen??? I know the last time I checked he had them both and that wasn't long before we checked out. So I made the long haul back to the farm from the parking lot to see if I could find it. It wasn't on the path to the parking lot so I asked the nice young girl if I could go back in to look for my son's shoe...she kindly said yes and told me that it could be at the information desk too. Wouldn't you know...there it was...on top of a garbage can right next to the information booth...yay! Thank you nice person that set it there. So I once again trekked back to the car, but with shoe in hand! What a day!! At least when we got home, we were able to enjoy some great stew that was cooking in the crock pot while we were gone and I didn't have to mess with making dinner! And Lucas took a 3 hour nap...he was exhausted!!!
Now some (ok, a lot of!) pictures of Lucas' first trip to a pumpkin farm!
The petting zoo...
Check out this guy's hair...I love it!
Enjoying the animals...
The Band!

Who's taller????
Just trying a few things on the camera....
Lukey's got his pumpkin!
Can this guy come carve our pumpkins??? Awesome!
Another 'photo shoot' attempt...this is no longer easy when you have an 'almost 10-month old"..
Attempt at one last 'photo shoot' before we headed home...didn't work very well!
