Anyone else ready for pumpkins? Because, my kids have been begging me for weeks to get out the Halloween stuff. There were a few times I almost gave in, but finally decided on a rule: It has to be less than 90 degrees outside in order to officially declare it pumpkin season. As last night’s storms rolled in, three little heads turned my direction with pumpkins on the brain; I conceded, and now we have pumpkin explosion. They walked around the house last night constantly “getting scared” by the spiders and black cats accompanying the pumpkin motif. It was awesome. Really. Next on the pumpkin agenda: Halloween Costumes and Pumpkin Patches.
Any fun pumpkin plans going on at your house?
Fall is my favorite time of year! We are having my son’s birthday party at the Black Creek pumpkin patch this year and we are very excited! We are planning to get out our fall decor this weekend. I also plan to start a neighborhood “you’ve been boo’d” game. This is where you put a sack of treats on a neighbor’s doorsteps with a note explaining the rules and then they pass on the favor to another neighbor. Lots of exciting things this time of year!
We’re going to “boo” some friends this year, too. It’s great fun! And while we have some fall decorations out, I told the kids they couldn’t wear their Halloween T-shirts until Oct. 1. I know one little girl that will probably be decked out in black and orange next Thursday!
Well, I’m embarrased to say but I gave in on that a couple of weeks ago. We’re all set for Halloween at our house, too. Glad the weather is finally coming along to back me up.
This weather has me so excited! I am hoping it will stay “fall like” for good! 90 degree Halloweens makes it hard to be excited for the holiday!
