Autumn Bucket List

Have I told you all that I love Autumn?   The leaves changing colors.  Wearing sweatshirts/hoodies/sweaters.  Drinking hot chocolate (well, not me, but the kids).  Picking out our pumpkins and carving them.  

I copy/pasted last year's list, but I made some changes.  

1. The Halloween decorations have been up for weeks!  Ethan did it. I love how Ethan decorated.  I am early this year. 

-The Fall Harvest sign is on the mantle.

-We put up a couple cob webs, too.

2. Watch Casper, The Haunted Mansion, Hotel Transylvania, Practical Magic, Frankenweenie, Monster House, Ghostbusters 1 & 2, The Goonies, & Gremlins.  

-I added more movies to our list than last year. We saw Hotel Transylvania 2 at our drive in and it was a great movie with a theme I love- Being different is not a bad thing.

-Look at the movies that are playing on ABC Family for their 13 Nights of Halloween.

-Is there a Halloween movie you like to watch? 
Update 10/5: We have watched Casper, The Haunted Mansion, & Hotel Transylvania. 
Update 10/10- We saw Hotel Transylvania 2 at the Drive In.
Update 10/11- Watched Gremlins 2.  Wow, have not seen that movie in a long time.

3. Visit a Pumpkin Patch and do a hay ride.

-I am hoping we can take the kids this Saturday or Sunday.

4. Carve the pumpkins.

-Closer to Halloween.

-We have to buy them since my pumpkin patch did not do so well.  I had huskies peeing on my plants.

 Update 10/28- I went out with Ethan and we brought 4 pumpkins at Walmart.  We did not have the time this year to go to the pumpkin patch.

5. Halloween coloring pages packet.

6. Crafts

-Nothing planned yet.

7. Gluten Free Cookies and other GF snacks.

-I have to make Ethan's Halloween party snacks this year.  I know we will be making brownies and cupcakes.
Update 10/30-  We made cupcakes and Bat cut out cookies last night and we iced them tonight.

8. Trick or Treating for the boys

-I love who Ethan chosen to be.

Update 10/6: I forgot to tell you that we want Zeus to dress up.  I am thinking of a doctor.  Zeus goes trick or treating with us.  He loves it, but I need to find a yellow ribbon to put it on his leash.  Zeus does not like crowded streets.  If it is crowded, we move up a street.  He loves the attention.

9. Have hot chocolate.

-Well, the kids.

What is on your Autumn Bucket List?
