Pumpkins Pumkins Everywhere

I tried something new this year to celebrate fall, aka, my favorite season. Every day I did something that involved pumpkins. I feel like my kids had a boring summer due to my first trimester woes. I pretty much laid on the couch for the entire months of July and August and wasn't a fun mom at all. This gave me a chance to celebrate fall and have some fun with my kids as well.

My pumpkin themed month wasn't something that I had planned on doing. But, on October 1st I made pumpkin muffins and the next day I made pumpkin pancakes and I thought to myself, 'Hmmm, I wonder if I can keep this up all month.' I am proud to say that only two days were missed, due to my trip to Montana (Brian did follow through 2 out of the 4 days). I also did two repeats right at the beginning of the month, because I had a couple of busy days and well, that's just how life goes sometimes. So, here's how our month went:

1st - pumpkin muffins
2nd - pumpkin pancakes
3rd - pumpkin patch

4th - pumpkin corn muffins
5th - pumpkin pie
6th - pumpkin marshmallow pops

7th - pumpkin corn muffins (repeat)
8th - pumpkin pancakes (repeat)
9th - played pumpkin games
10th - read pumpkin themed books
11th - pumpkin steamers from starbucks
12th - planted pumpkin seeds

13th - pumpkin tarts

14th - pumpkin foam craft
15th - pumpkin ice cream
16th - paper jack-o-lanterns
17th - pumpkin cookies
18th - pumpkin empanadas
19th - watched 'The Great Pumpkin'
20th - sang pumpkin songs
21st - watched 'Spookly The Square Pumpkin'
22nd - pumpkin butter
23rd - pumpkin dessert
24th - pumpkin chocolate chip donuts
25th - pumpkin shaped sugar cookies

26th - a pumpkin story
27th - none
28th - pumpkin chocolate cookies
29th - none
30th - carved pumpkins
31st - pumpkin shaped sandwiches

It was a lot of fun, my kids loved it, and I can honestly say that I didn't get tired of pumpkins. I think we will make it a tradition and repeat this next year.
