The whole month of October she talked about Halloween. Grant made a bat out of a clothespin, made a Frankenstein out of a paint swatch, had a special witch visitor, painted a pumpkin, played Halloween Bingo, and lots of other fun crafts, songs and activities. He has been completely absorbed in the holiday. When we go to the store we have to walk through all the seasonal items at the front every single time! The words: spooky, creepy, fake blood, zombies, are now a regular part of our vocabulary.
I have honestly loved it! It makes the holiday so much more fun when he is so excited. I feel bad that all of my fun Halloween stuff is packed in storage shed. He would actually have enjoyed it all this year, oh well.
As part of the fall excitement we decided to go to an actual pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins this year. It was so much fun! We got a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. We walked around trying to pick the best pumpkins. Grant's goal was to find the biggest pumpkin.
It was a perfect fall day to go to the pumpkin patch. We had a great time!

Grant thought the hayride part was so cool.

So much fun! I bought a pumpkin during October with every intention of having our family carve or paint it--and the pumpkin is still sitting on the kitchen floor, void of any sort of decoration. Hopefully your pumpkin was treated to more fun times than ours. :-)
