so i am a wee bit behind on my autumn to do list. fall has been in full swing for a few weeks now. we have been able to accomplish quite a few things on our list already but nevertheless, it’s always fabulous to have goals, right?!
1. carve pumpkins
2. trick or treat
3. go apple picking
4. hit up a pumpkin patch
5. make candied apples
6. bake an apple pie
7. jump in autumn leaves
8. eat apple cider donuts
9. decorate…get ready to nest!
10. go on a hayride
anyhoo, a few things on my list that have already been accomplished is decorating and getting ready to nest! we hit up a pumpkin patch and brought home a few really awesome looking pumpkins. i love the ones that are unique and different. white pumpkins are my faaaaaavorite kind. i love your classic orange but anything unique or different is my jam. pink, white, green…you name it, i will favor it and buy it. whaaaaa!
i pulled out all our halloween decor and got a crackin’ on decorating our home. i do think to myself sometimes, will i always want to do this? yeeeeeeears from now? will i be too old and crikety to even want to pull out decorations and get all festive. or will i be too lazy and bothered? haha. yea, i think about those random things sometimes but as of right now, i lurve it and will do this until i can’t no more.
anyhoo, last year was our first halloween in this house and i was a bit rocky on our decor. one: i had to buy it all {yeah, new house = new decor}. two: i wasn’t 100% sure what i wanted to do {hey, new house + remodel = i am unsure} and three: we were still remodeling our rooms, so getting creative caused limitations. well, at least this year…our living room is dunzo but i can’t say the same for our kitchen!!! ahhhhh!
i love halloween. i always have since i was a child. i love the spookiness of it all. i love decorating. i love dressing up. i love the change of the season, the cool air. i am not into the gory, scary, bloody type of halloween, i love the excitement it creates with children. i love how giddy they get to trick o treat. i love the creativeness it provokes in kids. i love the candy. the smiles, the cute costumes. i love the cartoons, the kid shows that do fun halloween programs. i love charlie brown’s pumpkin patch cartoon. i love seeing people’s houses all dressed up in eerie decor. it’s always been a happy kind of holiday to me and continues to be!
