Happy Halloween!

My kids have been pretty sick this past 10 days. Who knows if it was H1N1 or not. They are on the mend, but we had to keep Halloween pretty low key. As we made three trips to the pumpking patch this year we had a lot of pumpkins to catch up on before the trick or treating began.

As the day was absolutely gorgeous we all took turns on our assembly line decorating our jack o'lanterns in the sunlight streaming into the kitchen.

Daughter wanted to be a vampire princess so she is here practising her fangs.

My favourite season.

We were at my favourite seasonal destination. I look forward to the patch at Westham Island Farm all year. We went out last weekend on the last sunny day for awhile. My kids absolutely love going there and now my little one will remember that this is our family tradition.
A friend intentionally set out to create traditions with her kids as she lacked any from her own childhood. It made me start thinking about what my own family could do. We now have enough years in that the patch is an official tradition. We will head out again with my niece and bring home even more orange lovelies.
