We kicked off our fall fun with Jude's school Fall Festival. He got to dress up in his Halloween costume for the parade. He kinda loved it. Can you tell?
And Jonah was dying to get in on the action too, so my little toe walker kept dashing out into the parking lot while we were waiting for the parade to start. He's a wild child these days.
Then there was our neighborhood Fall Festival. They go all out and it is always a fun and free event. Eli was dressing up for a "green screen" picture here:
That night, I took Eli and Jude to the FSU Halloween circus. Both boys were perfect gentlemen at dinner and at the circus. Jude took his role as my date very seriously!
The circus proved a little too scary for Jude at first, but once it got going, his tears stopped, and he enjoyed himself. This was Eli's second year watching it, and he loved it again.
There was more fun to be had the following day at the Pope's annual costume and pumpkin carving party. Eli went as Zeus with a last-minute-thrown-together costume. He did not stay in costume for long and was glad to have a change of clothes.
Finally, we kicked this week off visiting a different pumpkin patch. Eli and Jude had a great time mastering the maze and then running through it again and again. I let each boy pick out another smallish pumpkin to carve or decorate later this week. (A decision I may later regret...)
Theo has been the chillest of chill babies during all of this fun. He slept through most of it and even stayed home with Daddy (and Jonah) while we went to the circus.
This is just the start of our season of excitement and fun. There is a lot more fun to be had with Halloween and birthdays and Thanksgiving and more birthdays and Christmas ahead.
