Fall Fun

So Halloween was a good month ago... ;) The seasons are really spinning fast. This year I dressed up with the boys as some of the Star Wars crew. This was the first year that Preston got to Trick or Treat a little bit. He took to task pretty good! Now is when it starts to get neat when you can see he is starting to appreciate and realize the things happening around him.

At the boy's school they have a fun tradition of a Family Carving Day, where we bring a pumpkin and the family is invited to come and partake in the carving/decorating of it to feature at the school's Fall Festival. We hadn't done anything related to Halloween at our other school so this was neat.

And oh yes this happened-- Nate now has glasses! 

We've always heard what a good festival our school has in the Fall from other friends who have been - it indeed does! However, being on the PTO preparing side of it was rough. I've generally found PTO at our new school to be a lot more work intensive than past years - while it is awesome for our school, it's a bit much for this mama with a kiddo yet at home to dedicate so much time and effort. At least despite all our planning, time, work...the Festival was a gigantic hit!

There was so much : vendors, bounce houses, games, a magician, face painters, donut dangle, dinosaurs walking around, DJ, food trucks... 

As per typical October I took the boys to a farm and they enjoyed Fall Break from school.
