Bills in a Bungalow: Halloween

Fall activities are so much fun and Dayton is now at an age where he is beginning to enjoy them. Here's what we've been up to this fall!

We headed to the Garden Factory for some indoor fall fun with cousins, but before we left this guy was not too thrilled!

After breakfast at the Rochester Public Market, Josh and I took the kids to Green Acres Farm to pick apples and pumpkins.

Dayton wanted to carry his pumpkin to be weighed. Cutie!

After picking our tiny little pumpkin (I had already bought pumpkins to decorate with at the house -this was more for the "experience."), we picked Jonagolds and Golden Delicious apples. We've since made lots of yummy apples recipes!

Halloween was slightly dampened by Lincoln's 2 day stay in the hospital (more about that to come in another post...), but Dax still wanted to go out as a lion. We kept Linc tucked away in the stroller, so he didn't get to rock his scarecrow. We still had fun seeing all our sweet neighbors as Dax went trick-or-treating for the first time!

D's first how to trick-or-treat!

His sweet buddy, Sophia, answered the door!

We love our little house in fall weather.

Annual neighbor photo -one day I won't need to be in the picture.

Such a fun fall! We cannot wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner. Celebrating life with friends and family is one of the greatest blessings!

We had such a wonderful little first Halloweeny with our Dax-man! He dressed up as a fox (something I chose LONG before the song!). It was the cutest little hoodie set from Target. I loved it most of all because it was just that, a hoodie and sweatpants. No crazy face mask and polyester to smother my (already a space heater) baby.

Josh suggested we watch a movie while answering the door again this year. In previous years, it has always been Harry Potter. This year we decided it needed to be baby friendly. We hung out, ate chili, watched our movie and waited for the door to ring. We had about 15-20 kids over the course of night (a little low due to the rain). They all loved Dax and he loved them. His little arms and legs wouldn't stop moving when he saw them.

We loved seeing all the costumes, chatting with neighbors and enjoying another opportunity to connect with the awesome families on our little street.

Here are a few pictures -daddy was behind the camera.
