Fall Festivities

 Things have been all sorts of festive around here this Fall.

Mainly, due to the fact that Jack has been utterly obsessed with Halloween since the second week in September!

 

As soon as the stores started putting up their Halloween displays, Jack was captivated.

 

His first Halloween obsession was Bones, the full blown skeleton my mom bought him.

For days...no...weeks...Jack carried Bones lovingly by his side.

 

 

 

Then...Brett decided to take him to the Spirit store one night.

I, quite frankly, was terrified of the place.

Jack....in heaven.

 

Especially, when he laid eyes on a smaller model of Bones.

 

 

 

 

Best friends at first sight.

Mini Bones soon became another fixture at the Jones home.

 

Thankfully, I won't sprinkle the blog with pictures of the 99,000 other holiday trinkets Jack has hoarded over the past few weeks.

 

 

We had fun one night taking Jack to the Pumpkin Patch. 

Along with skeletons, Jack has been captivated by pumpkins (cumpins) since they first started sprouting up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As soon as we got home...Jack started arranging and re-arranging his 100 lbs of pumpkins on the porch.

 

 

 

Since Jack is the pickiest eater there ever was...we have to get creative around these parts when it comes to convincing him to eat.

 

Quesadillas are one of the 4 things he will eat, so we have made our fair share of Halloween spirited ones.

 

 

 

I know the above 2 are pretty impressive...

but then, dad comes home and blows my artistic ability out of the water!

 

 

 

 

We were lucky enough to be able to hang out with Hank, Max, Lucy, and Isabel over Fall Break.

 

We spent one (slightly hellacious) day at Cornbelly's.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also had them over to make some festive caramel apples.

 

 

 

Tana was also in town in October, so Jack spent plenty of time in Alpine jumping and playing with Ammon and McKay.

 

 

 

So...in a nutshell...

We've loved every minute of Fall.

 

To wrap this post up...here's a few random photos from my phone of Jack...and don't think for one second I've forgotten about my second-born. 

(See next post).

 

 

(Batman still reigns regularly...at least when Jack isn't wearing his mummy or pumpkin shirt)

 

 

 

 

 And, as you can see...he's still cracking us up.
