October Events Continued -- Picnic in the Park juice box did my little people disperse to climb on slides, swings, and spinning things. My littlest believe this was his best chance to try to grab and taste grass. Of course, it only made sense because each blade was more enticing than the next. It became a game where I would tell him, no, and he would zoom on the one closet to the one he was forbidden to try. My eldest calls out to me from afar to single me to watch him as he climbs on a rock. The two princesses of my possess delicately balance on some contraption and look to me for praise. Then out of nowhere, my littlest, the grabber, got a hold of my wig and tried desperately to yank it off my head. I wrestle with him. He is laughing uncontrollably, and it’s so infectious that I am waling in laughter as well. Two women sitting on a bench nearby cannot ignore the comedic value of it all and burst into laughter as well. I was exhausted by the time I pried his baby fingers out of my nicely quaffed wig and readjusted it. The children enjoyed the day at the park. It turned out to be a very good birthday for me. Pumpkin Patch The next day, we agreed that we should visit the pumpkin patch. It is a yearly moving carnival type setup that the children love. They want to do it all. We start with the face painting because that takes the longest. We move on to take the group photo because photography is my hobby and I love to capture special moments with them. The pumpkin patch has bounce houses, inflatable slides, a petting zoo, a pony rides, and even a moving train with a conductor. I keep them going from ride to ride until I run out of money or they get tired. I usually run out of cash before they get tired. The month of October is always warm in the state of Georgia. I love spending time with the little people in my life. They keep things interesting for me. Halloween Every year my youngest granddaughter is obsessed with what I will wear for Halloween. I saw many creative costumes being shared on social media. My grandchildren think I am cool and fun, but I don’t get excited about Halloween as they do. This year, I designed my get-up. I called myself the Ace of Pumpkins. It was a hit. The children loved that I made something and they understood it was a play on cards. Unfortunately, my vampire walked through our photo. We walked the neighborhood for less than two hours before the little people were complaining about being weighed down by all the candy they received.
