Halloween night is really busy at our house (six children), but I love to have something yummy bubbling away for dinner while they are out trick or treating. So I always make my favorite chili in the crock pot. As cold little kiddies come tromping in with their bags full of treats, I scoop them up chili in a bread bowl, they add their own cheese, or sour cream, or chips. I check their candy (the reeses p-nut butter cups are mine!!) we laugh about their experiences, they help answer the door for the rest of the evening. And a fun night is had by all!! Thanks!

We also like to attend our local pumpkin patch. The kids love playing in the corn kernal "sandbox". I love to for a drive through the country and visit a candy shop that is about forty minutes away.

It's a great outdoor activity, AND we're able to refill the freezer for the year!! We can’t wait for November to roll around, and deer hunting to start!

My mother started this wonderful tradition of having a pumpkin carving party in her backyard. She makes a bunch of food and buys a dozen pumpkins or so (but most everyone brings their own pumpkins) and the kids have a blast playing in the leaves and using sharp knives lol Hello!

Then we buy fresh, warm donuts and cider. I am taking my two year old niece next week while my children are in school. Also we visit a farm that has a huge corn maze and go on a hayride through their "haunted woods" Hands down, fall is my favorite season of the year.

The orchard is very quaint, and the nearby town has lots of festivities going on. It really feels like Fall up there, and everyone is just a little bit happier.

Here are a few of our family's favorites: Apple picking Using our wood pile for the first time...mmm, fire! Taking a hike (or two!) Ubiquitous leaf pile jumping Making hot cider with cranberries & cinnamon sticks Nuzzling wooly bear caterpillars (well, the kids nuzzle, I just admire) Hmm, thought the "U's" would give me more trouble than "N," must be late at night!
