Halloween and Fall Fun

Halloween was a success this year. Thomas loved it and Brady tolerated it. It is so fun to watch Thomas as he finally understands why Halloween is so much fun. I was so proud of him as he gave out candy. I think he enjoyed giving away candy more than getting it (but not more than eating it).

So Brady was the traditional Jack-o-Lantern riding in a haywagon (he didn't appreciate the hay so we left it out after the trunk or treat).



Thomas was Bob the Builder, and Nathanial was Scoop, the tractor.


They both ended up riding most of the way as we went trick or treating. Thomas tired out after the first street, and Nathanial had gone back to hand out candy, so I pulled them both around until Thomas was done.



We have a small tree in our front yard that has dropped all of its leaves. Thomas has spent hours playing with them. He rakes them, shovels them, puts them in the wagon, dumps them out, and even figured out how to jump into them. We spent many nice fall days outside in the leaf pile.
Brady didn't like them quite as much. The first few times the leaves touched him he started crying. Pretty soon though, he realized how much fun it is to eat them.







This fall has been a blast. Now that we are into Thanksgiving season, the fun indoors begins with lots of hands on crafts for Thomas.
