Pumpkin Patch

I wanted to share a few pictures from an impromptu visit to a pumpkin patch. This year, MVP has decided that he likes the little pumpkins the most because those are a lot easier to throw. Needless to say, we didn't stay too long.

Happy Halloween!!

We went to a Trunk-or-Treat activity last night and  MVP experienced his first taste of mooching candy off of kind people. It was a lot of fun. We all dressed up as golfers and, of course, MVP stole the show. For the first part of the activity, we ate hot dogs and played games at various booths indoors. MVP had his first bobbing-for-donuts experience and thought it was hilarious! He also liked popping balloons to find candy hidden inside. Once he figured out there was candy inside, he wanted to pop more and more! He wouldn't stand still long enough to get wrapped up like a TP mummy. It seems like he rarely stands still long enough to get a good picture--let alone with him both smiling AND looking at the camera. I know, I'm asking for waaaay too much.

 When we finished all the indoor games, we headed outside to do some trunk or treating. MVP caught on pretty quickly and really enjoyed walking up to people and helping himself to a handful (or two) to candy. There was one car that was quite elaborately decorated and the owners had dressed up their little dog too. MVP went up to the dog and started "sharing" his candy with the dog. He placed five or six pieces of his candy on the bumper of the car to give to the dog. What a nice kid!

 

We carved a pumpkin and MVP thought that was pretty weird. He liked reaching his hand in and pulling out the pumpkin's guts. Of course he would have been much happier if we had let him carve the pumpkin as well because he obviously thought he should be allowed to use the tools.

It's a lot of fun to participate in Halloween activities now that MVP is starting to understand them. We hope you have a wonderful Halloween too!!
