Most of these are pictures dug out from the past. The second one is from a preschool pumpkin picking trip three years ago. Back then, Tommy was a bolter - regularly delighting in running as far away from me as possible whenever he could. He didn't stop and would keep on going forever. It was a pretty long (and nightmarish) phase that lasted over two years...I could never take my eye off him and even lost him once or twice. If you're a parent of a bolter you know how stressful it is. Anyhow, he was wearing an orange hat that day when he jogged off into the distance, and I thought it made a cute photo.
Needless to say, I had to break into a sprint to fetch him not long after.
wonderful oranges! after reading your post i spied your wee 'pumpkin' boy. great photos x

Oh they're delicious - it's so odd, these pictures have made my mouth water. I've opened a flickr account especially and managed to enter a couple of my orange images. This is fun!

I have a wanderer. You can be in a shop and she's right next to you and then next thing you know she's wandered off because something has caught her eye...drives me nuts! She is getting better at telling me that she's going to move away from my side..but I have lost her a few times too!
Love the pumpkin picture..I did a trip like that with my eldest when she was in pre-school...happy memories!
