We have heard many people talk about going to a pumpkin patch in order to pick out a very special holiday gourd. Not so much for the Fair family who saw that pumpkins were marked down to a very reasonable 3.50 this week. So we went to our local retailer and worked our way through the mess that was left overs. After much scrutiny by our resident quality control expert - we escaped with what we deemed to be a steal. Below are the pictures.

With the good has come the bad. Piper slept very well last night - she got up at 12:45 to eat but then slept until 9am. This is way different from usual (if we can say 'usual' with her yet) as she mostly gets up from 7:30-8. She took some long naps, longer than normal and then turned up with a 102+ fever. Em took her to the doctor and they said all of her other vitals were fine but that we should keep an eye on her. As I write this, she is asleep on Em's chest. Poor thing. By the by - Piper also has successfully cracked her 2 bottom teeth. This too was a trying time. Pray for the popcorn.
