"Is it October First, yet?"

Here is a picture of C-Man and Miss-O last year during Halloween........So for the last week, I've heard the question, "Is it October first yet, Mom?" It all started when C-man and I went to Walmart to find the supplies for his costume and I bought spiderwebs....he thought that was sooo cool and wanted to decorate the house immediately. I told him not until the 1st of October. So each day, I'm asked if it's October yet. C-man is very excited for Halloween this year, he has three different celebrations!! He wanted to dress different for each event, I finally have him convinced to stick with one costume!!

Yesterday, we went on a fall walk and we used our eyes, ears, and noses to find things that remind us of fall. I also gave him a bag to put things in.....he was so excited about this, filled his bag with some of the leaves that are coloring and falling, nuts, sticks, and rocks! We crunched on the leaves, and saw mums, pumpkins and a scarecrow. He said, "When it's Fall time, it's Halloween time!" He just can't get Halloween off of his mind, so cute. During the walk, Miss-O just hung out and enjoyed her stroller ride....she was talking, but I don't know French or Japanese, yet. (must find a translator!) At the end of the walk we finished by eating pumpkin bars!

So a Happy Fall to everyone, may you slow down enough to smell it, see it, taste it, and hear it!
