We started this Halloween season the same as last. We made the annual (I can say this now...since we've done it twice) trek to the pumpkin patch. Mommy drew the design and Daddy did the honor of carving. Jackson was so happy every time we brought the giant orange ball (pumpkin) out. I lost count of how many times he tried to pick it up! One night, he laid on top of it, then proceeded to have a conversation with him. Of course he was speaking in a language that only he understood. The pumpkin didn't seem to mind, and actually sat there for a good half hour listening to Jackson's ramblings! It's a good thing that Jacks doesn't know what happens to pumpkins after Halloween. It was all very sweet, but was a gentle reminder to me that he needs to have more play dates.

After going back and forth what Jackson would be this year, I decided he would make a very cute scarecrow! I made his costume, rather, embellished some store bought overalls and shirt. None the less, he was a very cute scarecrow indeed! I was sure he would try to rip pieces off, but he didn't. We went trick or treating in Papa and Grammy's neighborhood, as it's more kid friendly. Jackson rode in style, being pulled in his big red wagon up to each and every door. He seemed to love every minute of it! I was a bit surprised at how many people actually asked him what he would prefer...in terms of candy. Like any good Mom, I spoke for my 15 month son and would quickly reply, "Butterfinger, Reeses, he just loves chocolate!" Even more surprising, they seem to buy what I was selling! Sorry kiddo, no chocolate for you this year. I did however, let him indulge in a few pieces of candy corn from Miss Gelsy. Afterall, what would Halloween be without some candy?
I think his second Halloween was a success! Until next year....
Ready to go!
