Finally getting around to posting about our Fall activities. A fall festival, fun at the State Fair, trip to the pumpkin patch, carving/painting pumpkins, and ending with trick-or-treating. It has been a busy month in the Hougham House!
I'll just post the highlights, because I've got a party to plan and 30 days of giving to get to! :)
Chase finally got to venture to the fair with us this year. We determined he was finally old/big enough to not be too much to handle. And Austin loves riding all the rides. We hit up the typical attractions: barnyard petting area, Little Hands on the Farm, corn dogs, cotton candy, ice cream, and lots of rides. They were both pretty well behaved, and since we went on a Thursday it wasn't all too crowded.
The next weekend, we hit up the pumpkin patch with the fam for a full day of fun. Lunch first, then a train ride, then the pumpkin patch, complete with bounce houses. Needless to say, we were beat when we finally made it home that night.
We waiting until the weekend before Halloween to carve and paint our pumpkins. I swear, Austin bugged me every night about wanting to do the pumpkins! Basically, the kids painted their little pumpkins, while Jordan and Logan took care of carving the big ones out.
Last year, we did a Toy Story theme for Halloween get-ups, which was pretty fun. This year, Austin insisted on being a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. And I refused to be a damn ninja turtle. And Chase wanted to be Mike (aka the eyeball monster from Monsters, Inc.). This all resulted in no family theme this year. We trick-or-treated around the neighborhood for a bit grabbing up the goods, and then came back home so that Austin could pass out candy. He got so excited every time someone would come to the door. For a few girls, he gave them more candy. When I asked why, he simply said 'because they were special.' Looks like trouble to me!
Can't believe the end of October is here and we're quickly approaching the holiday/birthday chaos that the next 2 1/2 months old!
