Halloween Preview

cowboy Jamie Small-preschool trick or treating

The holidays are amping up-oh god! how can that be. Around here it is all pumpkins and harvesting. Tonight I was so excited when I realized that the whole meal-save the meat came out of my little patch of earth ten feet from the front door. We ate broccolli I planted in August, potatoes and turnips from the spring, and apple sauce I canned last fall.

At preschool Jamie has been learning pumpkin songs and playing with pumpkin guts. We are reading all the Halloween books Mom read to me as a kid, and every time we visit Goodwill Jamie points at the decorations and says "there are the scary things".

I don't know what is happening here-toddlers!

Speaking of Goodwill, (something I'm always doing) we have a few costumes to choose from around here. Luckily we have a few Halloween events to choose from so we can try out multiple outfits. Our first party is already behind us. Jamie was the cutest little Bavarian boy in his leighderhosen that Ella's (below in her little red riding hood) auntie Caroline found for Jamie at the Bins. Thanks Care!
