This weekend was Halloween central. We decorated the house with orange lights, pumpkins, spiders and ghosts. We spent a lot of time searching for JUST the right costumes (and found them).
And, we went on the hunt for the perfect pumpkin. For this, we drove to Petaluma through wine country and the beginning of the fall leaves changing. Clara Shei and I have never seen the leaves change or a Halloween season. We tried to celebrate Halloween as best we could last year, but this is our first crack at costumes, creepy spiders and all that comes with it.
When we reached Anderson's pumpkin patch, we went out to the fields to find the exact right pumpkin. We pounded on a lot of pumpkins (I had to explain to Mommy that pounding back and forth on each pumpkin is clearly how you pick the perfect pumpkin). Finally, I found mine. I BIG round perfectly orange pumpkin!
We got all our pumpkins in the wagon and into the car and were on our way (after paying of course). Now, I can't wait to carve them. Mommy says we need to wait a few more weeks before we do that or our pumpkins won't last all the way to Halloween.
Stay tuned for more spooky fun to come!
