Day 120: Favorite time of year coming up

It's almost that time of year folks. Time for cooler weather (well in England it's been cooler weather for a while) and pumpkins (most importantly) - my favorite season: FALL! I'm super excited about the month of October - pumpkin pie making, pumpkin ice cream making (w/ Laura), pumpkin picking, maize mazes and hopefully throwing a Halloween party ( Wicked the musical themed??? I think so!) Sweet!

Witch's Broom Complete!

Well, here is the final product:

Another present on the doorstep

We got another present on our doorstep yesterday! This time, it was a broom with a poem attached:


Paint me, decorate me - do what you will
I'll stick around until I've had my fill
Watch me close, keep me near
On Halloween night, have some fear.
Unless they choose not to be wise
Kids beware of neighbors in disguise
I'm a witch's broom seady and true
On the 31st I may fly away from you!




Here's the game:
We decorate our broom and put it out in front of our house. Once Halloween week starts the stealing begins! We can steal as many brooms as we want but only one broom from any one person at a time. At the end of Halloween night, we get to keep the brooms we still have. Whoever ends up without a broom has to host the group.



Here is our broom before we decorate it!! This is going to be fun! We'll have to have it decorate by Thursday because we are going out of town on Friday night :)

The boo got booed!

We got booed!! It's a game our neighborhood plays in October. We found a bag on our doorstep with a gift, ghost and instructions inside:

This treat is for you, We hope you enoy
this idea is simple, one we hope you employ.
You pass "boo" along to 2 other neighbors
Along with any kind of Halloween favors.
If we all do our part and spread the good cheer
by Halloween night it will be very clear.
We're a friendly bunch, we like to share fun
So please do our part and keep "boo" on the run!







We got a spiced pumpkin reed diffuser from Yankee Candle!
