Kumpins and such

October, as it should be, has been the month of pumpkins (or as Connor says, "kumpins"). We've visited two different pumpkin patches, one of which was on a day that the temperature soared to a hellacious 97 degrees (very unnatural weather for pumpkin picking, I must say)! Connor also helped carve his first jack-o-lantern, which he was very excited about.

We love to visit the management office of our apartment complex, which is decorated to the nines, and a condo just around the corner from us. Connor excitedly points out the "kumpins", skeletons and spiders - he's really into Halloween!



Last week, I took him to pick out his costume. We (mostly I) chose Winnie the Pooh. He absolutely refuses to wear the cute lion costume that Uncle Phil and Aunt Camille bought him. Don't know why. He loved it for about a week, but now just treats it as a stuffed animal, giving it kisses and such. Anyway, he LOVES his Pooh costume! Even lets me put the hood on him! And I must say he makes the cutest Pooh bear. He wore it to his first Halloween party last night and it was a hit. Of course, it's so hot here that we had to unzip the back to give the poor little dude some ventilation, but he loved every minute of it!
