As to be expected, October was filled with Halloween related activities. We spent an afternoon at the pumpkin patch during a heat wave (90+ degrees), which felt a little incongruous for autumn. Marshall picked out some decorative little pumpkins and gourds, played in a huge lima bean pit, and ran through the hay bale mazes with his friends. We also went on a train ride and the kids got to milk pretend cows. Marshall's exuberant reaction to that activity was, "mama, that cow is PEEING!" An entertaining outing for us all.
The week before Halloween we went to the city to trick-or-treat at Grammy Mary Ann's office. She and her co-workers all had candy and cars for Marshall at their desks. We didn't carve pumpkins until Halloween day but had a fun time deciding on silly faces with my mom, who came to town for a nice long visit. On Halloween evening, my friend Aundria hosted a chili dinner and then we took the kids trick-or-treating around the block. Marshall fit into his dinosaur costume from last year and had a blast collecting candy. I am now having a guilt-ridden blast eating it all!
