pumpkinsWe have a toddler after an eleven year hiatus, which means I get to be “Mommy” for a bit longer instead of just “Ma” or “Mom” or the dreaded “Yes, *sigh*, THAT’S my mother…” A few more Octobers of contemplating whether or not to make trick-or-treating costumes by hand, or to give in to the aisles and aisles of alter-ego personalities available at Walmart (I’ve discovered Old Navy’s costumes are cute, cute, cute!). More years of watching Halloween-themed videos (now dvd’s), reading Halloween books to someone other than my students, and using pumpkins for more than just decor.

Our toddler’s favorites this month? Pumpkin Pie and
pumpkin eye of course! Decorating with many of Shannon’s handcrafted holiday items has given the boy more than one pumpkin vignette to enjoy as well:

I think we have MORE than Five Little Pumpkins!

    Your house looks so nice! Having a little one must certainly help motivate you to keep the festive atmosphere. My older teens have rolled their eyes for so many years now that I’ve lost the love for holiday decorating. It’s just no fun when I’m the only one into it.

    I will give my boys credit for one important thing, though. On Halloween night, they enjoy passing out the candy–that is until they are off doing their own thing. Sigh!
