Fall Festivities

The weekends leading up to Halloween were busy ones for us. One Saturday we went to a free pumpkin patch that was sponsored by our home builder.

Afterwards we attended our neighborhood Fall Festival.  We rode the train and played games.

I love how cute Bella’s hair came out this day.

Another fun thing we did was make Halloween cupcakes

Here I was trying to take an artsy picture of the cupcakes.

And of course we carved pumpkins

Anabel is in a phase where she loves anything with skulls on it. I didn’t particularly encourage this – she just really likes them of her own accord. So when we sorted through the pumpkin pattern book this is what she chose.

This pumpkin Jacob drew out and I carved it for him.  So cute!

The Saturday before Halloween, we attended the Pumpkin Bash up at Jacob’s elementary school.  The school is nearby so we walked up there.

Here is Jacob and his Kindergarten teacher – she’s awesome and we love her!

There were lots of booths and games and a jump house. I had Jacob with me and I had the camera, so guess who we ended up with pictures of?

And we made pumpkin seeds – YUM!

Next post I should finally get to Halloween itself! And after that…Renaissance Festival!
