The last couple weekends have been very fall-like and very festive. We went to the same pumpkin patch with some friends (Bi-Zi Farms). As anticipated, it was tons of fun yet again. Last year Zoe was in my belly. This year… well she was in the Ergo the entire time so still near my belly. She looked around a bit, but mostly napped through it all. Hunter loved riding the mini tractors, petting animals, riding his first pony(!), having his first face painting(!), and then of course, finding a couple little pumpkins to take home.
Later that night we went to a pumpkin carving/Halloween party/dinner. I have proof we all wore our costumes for at least 1 minute. 🙂 Hunter was an owl, Jacob was a fox, I was a raccon and Zoe was a bear. Woodland creature family for the win! The masks and Hunter’s owl wings I sewed (up to the last minute before we left for the party). Zoe’s bear suit we had from when Hunter was a little babe.
Then on Friday evening (in the rain) we took Hunter trick or treating for his first time! At the Halloween party he wanted nothing to do with his costume. Once trick or treating started he wore it the entire time. It was so much fun seeing his joy and excitement going from house to house knocking and saying trick or treat. We went to about 6-7 houses.
Truth be told, before taking Hunter out trick or treating I was a bit of a trick or treating party pooper. His joy made me so excited to take him. Now I can’t wait for next year!
Are you getting into fall activities? Did you or your kids dress up for Halloween?

Aw what a fun bunch of “firsts” for both Hunter and Zoe! I love his little plaid shirt – looking so grown up these days!
Very fun! What cute costumes!! Once again you make me wish I could sew.
What a cool pumpkin patch! Looks like little man was having SO much fun! I adore Halloween. Kay didn’t want to go trick or treating, she just wanted to give out candy!
