October is my favorite month. The weather finally gets cooler (usually), it is the start of the holiday season, and I begin to think about busting out my leggings and boots. This year will be especially sweeter with an October baby joining our family.

My wonderful NNF (new neighbor friend) "booed" us this week, and G could not have been more excited about the mystery person and the bucket of treasures on our front porch! I guessed it was her, but she acted like she didn't know what I was talking about until she confessed later on.
If you have never heard about this before, the idea is that you fill two treat bags or buckets with Halloween/Fall goodies and leave them on neighbors' porches anonymously at night. It is similar to a chain letter where they are supposed to leave the ghost on their front door indicating that they've been "booed," and in return, boo two other neighbors. Such a fun and clever way to get into the holiday spirit! If you would like to start it in your own neighborhood, go here to print out the signs.

With Little L's upcoming arrival, I went ahead and prepared Halloween goodie bags for G's teachers. I already had the $1 treat bags from Target and filled them with pumpkin note pads (also from the dollar spot), candy, and two mini mason jar candles from Bath & Body Works.

Yesterday I tempted fate and ventured forty-five minutes away for some pumpkin patch fun. My mom came with me (in case I went into labor) and we took all four cousins.
The farm was huge with tons of activities - pumpkin painting, candy corn maze, horse rides, barrel train, face painting, and a hay ride, just to name a few.
On Sundays they open at 1:00 and by the time we arrived twenty minutes later, the place was already packed.
We lasted an hour and the littles enjoyed feeding the goats (yay for being free!), having their faces painted, and in general, just running around.
Happy October, everyone! And please, it's pumpkin, not punkin.
