I realize that it's now December, November sure was a busy month, but I wanted to share my Halloween fun with all. Back in October, Dad and Mom took me to a pumpkin patch (with our neighbor Thomas and his mom and Dad). I really enjoyed visiting the farm. There was a corn box to play in (like a sandbox). They had animals. I got to try and eat as many pumpkins as I could before Mom or Dad would stop me. And, I even got to drive a truck. Pumpkin picking is totally fun.
After picking the pumpkin, Dad let me partake in a new holiday tradition (at least new to me - as we moved right before Halloween last year) - pumpkin carving. As avid blog readers know, I love trains. I have a bunch of trains in my basement that I get to play with; I even live near the train tracks so I can watch them drive by. So when Dad asked me who I wanted to carve into the pumpkin, I was obviously perplexed. Carve what into who, I thought? I don't know what a carve is and I'm not allowed to use knives (except the completely fake, not sharp ones in my play kitchen). Once Dad explained the procedure to me, I voted to carve Thomas the Tank Engine into the pumpkin. Who doesn't love Thomas (not my neighbor, I mean the train. But I like my neighbor Thomas too, just not as much as the little blue train engine).
My favorite part of Halloween was definitely the dressing up. I dressed up as a chocolate bar for the holiday; although I've never had chocolate, so I don't really know what that is. Amelia wore a fire tutu and had marshmallows on a stick pinned to her onesie. Mom and Dad were grahram crackers. So together we were a bunch of s'mores - like when we went camping! Next year I suggested that we all dress up as Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends. We'll see how my idea pans out.
One of the cooler things about Halloween is that if you go door to door people give you stuff. This year I went 'trick-or-treating,' as mom and dad called it, with my buddy Max. Max and his dad were very motivated to knock on doors and get lots of good stuff - we got so much! After I got sleepy, we went back home and gave out Fruit Snacks to people that came 'trick-or-treating' at our house, fun! The next morning I woke up and wanted to sample some of the goodies that I collected (while out with Max) the prior night - Mom and Dad told me it was 'gone.' But secretly, I think they ate it or gave it to the people who trick-or-treated at our house.
Oh well. Check out all of my Pumpkin Picking and Halloween photos here.
Peace Out,
