The first area the kids wanted to go to was the petting zoo, of course, because what's a day at the pumpkin patch without risking the chance to be infected with E coli .
Oh, those unfortunate animals. I would imagine if they could talk, this is what they might say....
"Hi there, little boy. You look friendly enough. Wanna pet my soft, fuzzy ears?"
"I asked if you wanted to pet my soft fuzzy ears....not spit on them. Good God, you humans are so disgusting"
"Uh....okay, now I'm feeling somewhat overwhelmed. How many of there ARE you? Where are your parents? Who's freakin idea was it to sell me to the petting zoo in the first place? This really bites..."
"Oh no, oh dear God, there's FOUR Of them....think of a happy place, think of a happy place, think of a happy place...."
"Yo, Ricky Bobby, look...I found a kid who's not being closely supervised. His mom is more interested in taking a picture for her blog than protecting her beloved child. Let's run him down and strip search him for food. Then she can put THAT on her blog."
"Guys, would you look at that? The boy here thinks he's got some kinda super powers or something? He thinks he can scare us off by sticking his hand out while saying "go away, goats". Isn't that cute? Boy, I'll tell ya, that's a good way to lose a finger or two. Oooooooh, I'm soooo scared...bwahhahaha"
"Uh, yeah....do you realize you're trying to feed me a piece of my own poop? No thanks.....why don't you go offer it to your little brother who was trying to ride me like a horse a few minutes ago? Tell him it's an M&M"
"Hey, kid....your face says it all. Oh yeah, fresh from the oven, just the way I like it. If any of the other goats come near you, I got first dibs..."
"Come on, little dude, just tell us how you're able to hide your horns so well and then we'll leave you alone..."
"No worries, baby girl. I eat boogers too....beggars can't be choosers, ya know? Now hand over that fresh, juicy one you just picked"
"Kid, you are taking way too long to open up that nut for me....I'm totally gonna bite your hand off in a minute. And, trust me, you don't want that to happen, it could get ugly around here. Why? Because sharks are attracted to blood, that's why. Okay, THAT made no sense....sheesh, what is IN these nuts?"
Next was the play area, where Bella had to learn the hard way why I told her that wearing a skirt to the pumpkin patch was NOT a good idea. Let's just say that the smile on her face quickly disappeared once she was at the bottom of that haystack. When will she learn....Mommy always knows best.
I got nothing for these next 2 pictures....but they just looked so darn cute, I had to include them. Horse swings made out of rubber tires...very clever. Added bonus: they couldn't get off of them without help so at least I knew where 2 out of 4 of my kids were for a good 10 minutes.
Daddy, get me down and stop laughing at me. I'm all freaked out here. You better hope and pray that I'm not the one in charge of your care when you're old and dicrepid....I'm just sayin
What's that? Do I want to get down from the tree? Oh, now you think you're being funny, right? I got a funny for you....last night, when you left the table to go to the bathroom, I licked your pizza....and then I sneezed all over it. Oh and by the way, did I mention that I've been feeling kinda congested and just plain icky these last couple of days? I sure hope it's not the swine flu, don't you?
Show off...climbed up there all by himself. Aw, too bad he doesn't have a clue how to get down.
Hmmmm, Landon kinda reminds me of someone in this picture but I can't quite place who it is......
Oh yeah, now I remember....here's Johnny.....

Wow, what do ya know....Charlie Brown finally found the Great Pumpkin. Although, personally, I think Garrett resembles Linus more.....minus the blanket and the know-it-all attitude.
Awwwww, so sweet....the big twins helped the little twins climb up the huge hay bale so I could get a picture of the 4 of them together.
Not so sweet...they abandoned one of their little brothers immediately after the picture was taken.
....Uh, guys? Hello? Where did everyone go? How am I supposed to get down?
Cole: I wanna be the donkey butt first...
Garrett: No, I wanna be the donkey butt...
Mommy: Stop arguing....everyone will get a chance to be the donkey's butt.
Daddy: I bet that's not something you ever expected to come out of your mouth when we were trying to have kids.

LOL that was so awesome! Loved the pics, the talking animals and of course, the perfect pumpkin!
Too funny! Seems like an awesome trip =)
PS-I always find myself saying weird stuff like that! Today it was "Don't wipe your butt on your sister's shirt". Good times.
Adorable pictures! Looks like they had a great time. Thanks for sharing!

Funny goats! BWAAAAH! LOL! What a fun time--loved the tire horses, funny they couldn't get off without help. Kid in tree was funny too--kind of like cats. Much easier to climb up than get down. Always makes me wonder why mothers let their girls wear dresses to places like this--guess you just get tired of arguing with them about it, huh? Maybe she'll learn for next time.
Wow that place looks like a blast for kids! The one we go to has a petting zoo but you can even pet the animals. It has one 1 goat, some ducks, and a rooster. My daughter still loves it though. I love taking her there and she LOVES all the pumpkins in the pumpkin patch. I can't wait to take her next week.
OMG, Helene, you are merciless! I was laughing so hard!!
The pics are all very cute, but I especially love the one of the four of them up on the bales of hay. :)
Good times, kinda sorta! LOL Perfectly said! :) Love the pumpkin picture, though. Too cute!
I know I can always come to your blog for a laugh. Great pics! We're suppose to be going to a pumpkin patch Saturday. Can't wait.
I'm feeling very thankful that I am NOT an animal in a petting zoo! ;-)
That was funny and sweet! Your kids are beautiful. And funny, your husband looks a lot like my best friends hubby, hmmmm......does yours travel a lot?
Just Kidding!
Love your blog site, it's very pretty!
ROFL.every time I come here I giggle and laugh so hand I cry. I LOVE YOUR KIDS.
I freaked when I saw your son in the treeeeeee.. ooooh my goodness... LOL. He's so high up there I wanted to stand with arms around him while he's up there and say OK.. now you can come down.. com'onnnnnnnn down ya go.. DADDY what are you thinking LOL.
I know.. I know I over react LOL. I do it with my boys too.. heh heh
It's such a boy thing and boy do they LOVE to climb.. never quite leaves their system..the climbing thing that is.. LOL
That was so cute - and so clever - I have really got to work on being clever in my posts - but I just don't think is there for me!! I love pumpkin patches - I have got to find one in our area - we just moved here in May - so this is our first fall - and I'm not sure what all is around here - but they always a hit with me - and what I usually have fun at the girls have fun at - that is usually! :)
We don't have a place like that around here. It looks fun. We have to buy our pumpkins at Walmart. Our zoo does have something called Boo in the Zoo. The kids dress up in their costumes and get to walk around the zoo and get candy. Cute post!
Oh no, oh dear God, there's FOUR Of them....think of a happy place, think of a happy place, think of a happy place...."
i almost peed my pants laughing at this post!! :)
So cute! i laughed so hard! we are taking a trip to a pumpkin patch farm this weekend! i can not wait!
Too funny! Your kids are so cute! I thought I was the only one who felt bad for the animals when my kids come around.
This is such a funny post. You always make me laugh.
How cute! Your kids are adorable and the story was very clever.
LOL! Love that!! I did something similar with my kids and the story thing yesterday too. I love the tree picture!! LOL
LOL, thanks for the entertainment AGAIN!!!
We are due for the pumpkin patch very soon!
Looks like a fun day!!
Cute, cute, cute! You truly do have the funniest blog I've ever read!
Thanks for the laugh! And I am constantly trying to explain to Mackenzie why she can't wear a skirt everywhere too - sounds like she and Bella would make great friends if they were thousands of miles away. :)
This all sounds frighteningly familiar . . . oh yeah, we just experienced much of the same thing *yesterday* at the pumpkin patch :)
I love this post, so darn funny!
Very entertaining! I have those moments too. I never imagined I'd say those words...or I never imagined I'd be allowing my kids to do that. :-)
I love your writing - you could make hilarious short stories - and call all the kids donkey butt.
They look right at home at the animal farm. Hmmmm.
I love it! My favorite part is, "Go away goats!" LOL!!! You have such a beautiful family. I can't wait to go to the pumpkin patch this year.
Looks like everyone had fun! The donkey butt is too funny. :)
What a fun place, I wish our pumpkin patch would have a petting zoo, the kiddos are as cute as can be, love all the pictures.
Next monday I am having a pumpkin round up and would love for you to link up this and any other pumpkin related posts!
Wow! your kids are so darn good looking!!! Yes i talk my twins! My husband thinks I should do voice overs! I can't beleive you do that too and the pizza wih fork and knife!! I know your cool!! Heehee
Oh my, you had me laughing this entire post. It reminded me of growing up with my 2 brothers. We would have definitely argued over who go to be the donkey's butt & my Daddy would have definitely said something that resembled with "Daddy" said :) So funny...I want to have more kids just for this experience...lol
Awesome! It's a good thing you have such a great sense of humor! I would have been crying by the end of the day! :)
Goodness gracious, where on earth to you come up with this stuff? Love it!!
HOW COOL! Sadly, I never got to do the "hay thing" ... but I dig on pumpkin patches and petting zoos.
I LOVE THE PICS! You are one blessed lady!! :)
ROTFLMBO! Is he really kneeling in the middle of the petting area making a doo?! LOL!
Oh my gosh! I am laughing - you really need to be the "caption lady" for my pictures! You are so, so funny!
Hahaha! I love that I can always count on your blog to make me laugh! And I LOVE that picture of your little boy sitting on the pumpkin. That one is frame worthy for sure!
Hysterical!
SO cute! We went to the zoo a month or so ago and had to stop off at the little petting zoo. I'd been handed the cotton candy to hold and had forgotten all about it. I was standing there talking to my boyfriend and his daughter when a goat started sniffing around. If not for my boyfriend pointing it out, I probably would have lost that cotton candy!
omg, this had me laughing! Oh, to be a fly on the goat's back - it would probably be pretty damn close to how you wrote it.
Thanks for CRACKING ME UP! :-)
I'm cryin' here. This is too funny. God knew you had to have a grand sense of humor to raise two sets of twins! Loved my trip through the pumpkin patch with your family. Looks like one and all had a fantastic time.
Have a wonderful day and God bless!!!
You have made my evening! I needed a good laugh and always you came through :)
Too funny!!! Always an adventure with your four. :)
The commentary from the petting zoo is hilarious!
I can't believe one of your children wasn't eaten alive that day.
this is just too funny!
oh how adorable!!!
The pictures are great, but your commentary puts them over the top! lol so funny!
Great photos! Funny captions! Thanks for some fun reading :)
Hilarious! It looks like it was a nice day at the pumpkin patch!
Oh you funny girl. If only we knew what those poor animals were thinking when we traipse through with our own animals. I bet your script is pretty close!!
Oh Helene, after being up all night for the past 5 nights with a teething baby girl. I needed a really good laugh and this was the answer. I laughed my tail off.
I loved the comments you put for the animals...so darn funny and then the whold Donkey Butt thing only kids would think of that.
The comment up in the tree with Daddy looking at him was so hilarioius!!! You rock!!
this looks so much more awesome and adorable than it probably was in real life, I'm so glad you shared!
I love that about being a mom. Just when you think you might crack because the little ones are fighting about being a butt, it all comes together and forms a happy memory
What a fun day! Beautiful pics Helen! Have a great Wednesday!!!
That cow sounds like one of those California cheese cows. And you should have told those other kids to move out of your picture & you'da had your Christmas card pic.
Thanks for the laughs.
Loved the pics. I have totally thrown my freaked out kids in trees just to get blog pictures. Bwaaahaha!
LMFAO, Helene! How you can come up with that many captions for that many photos is amazing! great job.
Helene, you are hilarious! I was laughing hysterically! and great pics too!
Hahaha, Donkey Butt! Those are really great pics!
