Happy Fall Y'all!

Pumpkin Patch

Gram and Gramps wanted to take Will to a Pumpkin Patch. So we went to Lucky Ladd Farms one Saturday afternoon. It was so fun! There was a petting zoo, hayride, huge slides, corn maze, and of course a pumpkin patch.

Will loved the petting zoo! I thought this lamb might come home with us.

It was lots of fun! We will definitely go back next year!

Halloween 2012

Pumpkin carving:
Will was completely uninterested. He preferred to play with the ladder, lawn mower, and other objects in the garage. When JT finished the first pumpkin, I gave Will a flashlight to hold inside of it. It lit up, and so did Will's face!

I requested a "WILL" pumpkin and JT did such a great job on it. So proud!

Costume:
I had a couple different ideas for his costume this year. Options were:
The old man from the movie "Up" - Mom found this costume on pinterest and it is absolutely the cutest.
Alligator - He loves the song that Karen sings to him about monkeys and alligators. He was a monkey last year.
Pirate - He likes the Disney show Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
Skeleton - Gramps bought Will a skeleton balloon at Publix that we named "Bones" and Will loves it! He plays "head and shoulders, knees, and toes" with it.
So then I started looking for costumes and the skeleton one was so cute! The little boy model even looked like Will.

So time for my confession of my "Mom FAIL" moment...
I washed Will's costume in the washing machine. The tag clearly said "hand wash only", but I thought that was simply a suggestion, not an instruction. So I opened the washing machine to a polyester/applique mess. Good grief! It took 30 minutes and 20 pieces of lint roll paper, but I finally got it all looking pretty again. It's just a little fuzzy now.

I had to work Halloween night, so JT was in charge of Will. He got him dressed in his costume, but Will refused to wear the hat. Our old neighbors came by to Trick-or-Treat in our neighborhood, so Will got to play with Maddy. JT said Will made it to a few houses, but he didn't really get the concept yet. Next year will be much more fun!
