The great things about Fall and Halloween . . .

1. Pumpkins!

Monday night, I convinced Jeremy to take me to a Pumpkin Patch so we could pick out a pumpkin! I know he wasn't very excited about it, but he humored me and we had fun picking out our pumpkin! They are are a great deal!!





2. Candy Corn!
I am addicted to these colorful little treats. I decided I would allow myself to buy one bag of them, because I remember last year I bought a bag every couple days and ate them all myself, so I didn't want to do that again. I've now decided that I should let myself buy two bags of them, one of the candy corns, and one of the delicious pumpkin shaped candy corns! I think that sounds fair! They are so tasty!


3. Hot Chocolate!
I have to thank Charami for introducing me to Borders Chocolate Trio Hot Chocolate! Wow, it was so yummy! I've never been a huge hot chocolate drinker, but I think times are changing. We got a Hot Cocoa Maker last Christmas, so on Monday night, to warm us up from our trip to the pumpkin patch, I pulled it out and made us some! I used one of the recipes in the book that went with the cocoa maker, but it wasn't as good as I was hoping. If anyone has a good recipe, let me know. Maybe I just need to try the instant stuff and use milk or something, I'll just have to keep trying.


4. Haunted Houses!
I am the biggest chicken when it comes to these, those who I have hung onto for dear life or buried my face in the hood of their jacket as we walked through can attest to that, but I can't seem to stop myself. I think I have found the one I want to go to this year, so if anyone wants to join in the scary fun, let me know!

5. Decorations!
It is so fun to decorate for Fall and Halloween, I love it!


Our decorated pumpkins!

Kris gave this to me last year, I love it!

My painted pumpkin, it lights up too, so festive!

Happy Fall and Happy Halloween!

I love this post (the picture of you and Jeremy with your pumpkin is so cute...two little lovebirds)! I too am an addict of candy corns at Halloween time. I've almost went through my 1st bag here at work and I think I'm due for another one! I've never been brave enough to go through a Haunted House, but if you can do it, surely I can! Maybe we should go! I just hope I don't have any accidents...that would be embarrassing! Hehe!

I'm going to a pumpkin patch tonight, wish me luck on finding the plumpest pumpkin there is! :)

Yay--you updated your blog!!! (about bloody time!) Loved it--highly entertaining. I'm glad your husband is nice and humored you at the pumpkin patch. Rick would make me go alone. You two are very good pumpkin decorators--good work. I love a good haunted house so would be up for going with you!

be you blithe and bonny said...

I'm up for going haunted housing, too! Ellison hates them, but I love a good scare!

The pic of you and Jeremy at the pumpkin patch is cute. Echoing Kris, two little love birds sitting in a tree....

You have the cutest blog EVER! I love Fall, too! For all of the reasons you listed...one of the things I would add though; "going to a Halloween party at Charami and Mac's house..." Haha...

You are such a cute couple. I love the photo of Jeremy in the pumpkin patch. I love the contrast between the cute pumpkins and tough Jeremy. I think it's so nice that he goes and does stuff with you just because he knows you will like it.

You two are so good together and i swear the Farr genes gave us a serious love for candy corn becuase my Mom and I can't seem to get enough of them. I love all your fall & halloween decor too...soo soo cute!
