Fall- Pumpkns and more pumpkins

We are enjoying fall here. The weather is starting to cool (though we still have some very warm days.) and the leaves are turning. I have to say if we do move next fall as we are hoping that is one thing I will miss if we end up back home in Texas. I will miss the vibrant colored leaves.

We have been enjoying pumpkins here too. Pumpkin candles, pumpkin muffins, bread, cakes, bars...you name it and we're enjoying it. I still laugh each time I make something with pumpkin because before last fall I didn't like pumpkin. I didn't like it till I was pregnant with Trumpet and now I can't get enough it of.

Last week we took the kids to a local farm and had a wonderful day of fun. There were hayrides, petting farm, haystacks to play in and a wonderful pumpkin patch to pick from. Captain picked out his pumpkin and later this week he will get to color it with washable markers and in November I'll use the pumpkin to make pumpkin butter.

We are gearing up for Halloween here as well. We have a lot of fun activities next week for Halloween. I am throwing a toddler Halloween party, we'll take the kids to the Y for a festival and then tricker-treating on Halloween night. Captain is a dragon and adores his costume. Trumpet doesn't want anything to do with his.
