Are you ready for Halloween?

I am!

Been wearing my costume for a few days now.

You know, just to get a good feel for it.

Only one more day to go!

I can't wait to go trick or treating because I hear you get TONS of candy.

Can you guess who I am?

Cox Farms Fall Festival

I'm sure everyone who lives in Washington DC and Northern Virginia knows about Cox Farms in Centreville, but not being from around here we had no idea. They are the largest family farm in the area!

Mami had never been to anything like this or even to a pumpkin patch, so she was just as excited as me when my tío told us about it (that means uncle in case you didn't know).

The Fall (or Autumn to others) Festival runs until Halloween on the 31st but afterwards they have other activities like Pumpkin Madness which is on the 5-6th of November. 

The festival costs $15 per person on the weekends and $8 on the weekends. Mami flinched when paying, but later we realised it was worth every penny because everything is free (well, you pay for your own food but you can bring a picnic if you want) but everything else like the HAY RIDE is included.

And let me tell you, they have EVERYTHING! I even helped eat a big bag of kettle corn...mmmmm!

There are lots of animals, like piggies, chickens, goats, sheep, horses, live shows and entertainment, long slides, playgrounds, and stacks of hay to climb on. There is so much to do that we didn't get to do it all. Imagine that. ME not getting around to everything.

But the fun doesn't end when you have to go. As you leave you get to choose a baby pumpkin. I am very lucky because I ended up getting more than one because my tío, mami, papi and my Omama gave me theirs.

So if you are in the area, you should go check it out! This is the last weekend for it...and let me know what you think. What about in the UK? Are there any "must visit" pumpkin patches?

As for me, I'm waiting for papi to come back from buying a big pumpkin so we can carve it. Don't forget, it's Halloween next week, and that means CANDY!!

Do you know what you are going to be? I'm SCOOBY DOO!

It's me...a skeleton!

There’s been so much talk of Halloween over the past few weeks and finally the real day arrived!

On Saturday night I helped mami and papi carve our pumpkin. Papi cut the top and then mami and I pulled out all the gooey stuff from the inside, it was squishy in between my fingers!

Mami then turned off the lights and suddenly the pumpkin had light inside of it! Papi said it was now a “jack-o-lantern”. It was so cool!

Today I put on my bones costume that Clothing at Tesco sent us and mami taught me to say "trick or treat". I don't really know what it means, but when I said that mami put some candy in my bag.

Off to a party we went where we sang songs, ate more candy and everyone had costumes on! I think I am starting to get this Halloween business now.

Oh, and the best thing about my bones (skeleton costume as mami calls it) is that it lights up in the dark!!

Hope you had a spooktacular day!

Pumpkin to Jack-o-Lantern

BOO!

Happy Halloween!

We carved a pumpkin last night. And today I am going to a party.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Halloweeeeeen!

Almost time for trick or treating!

It's a day called Halloween. You get to dress up like something silly or spooky and get lots and lots of candy! Well, this is what I've heard.

Last year was my first Halloween and I didn't get any candy. Just a bottle full of milk. 

I remember it well because my Auntie Katie sent me the most ridiculous costume, I still don't know if I was suppose to be a bear or a monkey. But of course, mami made me wear it! I tried to wrestle my way out of it, but mami got her way.

Please mami, don't make me wear this!

Does it look like I'm having fun??

However, this year it looks as if Halloween is going to be hit! To kick things off, we were lucky to be invited to a little Halloween party by the Clothing at Tesco team a few weeks ago. There was a room full of pumpkins, face painting, candy and everyone was dressed in strange costumes.

That's me testing out the pumpkins. They passed the test.

But the real surprise came we entered a dark room with lots and lots of seats. I made myself comfortable in daddy's lap and then a bright light came on and a movie started showing on the wall.

Getting ready to watch the movie!

It was the BIGGEST television screen I have ever seen. It was as big as the room! Sooooo cool! We watched a special Tesco Entertainment exclusive film, Monsters vs. Aliens – Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space that was about getting back the Halloween candy from the evil pumpkins. Everyone thought I would be scared, but I showed them.

So what am I going to be this year? Well, from the looks of it, I am dressing up as lots of bones. Or as mami calls it, a skeleton. Thanks to the girls at Clothing for Tesco I will be scary this year, not cute.

Happy Halloween everyone!
