Fall Questions

Today is the first day of fall!  My goodness, this year is going by fast! Another blog that I follow did this fun link-up of Fall Questions.  I was a little late to the party, but I still thought it would be fun to give my answers.

1. What fall traditions do you have?

We always take a trip to the pumpkin patch.  Over the years, we've visited several different patches and have got to do fun things like a cane maze, go to a petting zoo, and ride ponies. 

Our kiddos with Grandma and Papa Floyd on our 2011 Pumpkin Patch Visit.  It was Karsyn's first time!

We also have the tradition of going trick-or-treating every Halloween with Uncle Billy,  Aunt Kary, Natalie, Emily and Stephen.

2. What's your favorite fall recipe?

My friend Megan once gave me a recipe for delicious pumpkin cookies.  I'll have to find it again and post it. I also love a good Frito Chili Pie in the fall, especially if it's made with my mom's chili.  

3. What is your favorite fall photo (or photos) you've taken?

Addi - Fall 2010

Payton - Fall 2010

Evan Fall 2010

4. Football - Love it or Hate it?

All of the guys in my life are huge football fans.  We watch a lot of college football and try to take the kiddos to at least one high school game each season.

5. What was your favorite Halloween costume as a kid?

When I was in the 3rd grade, my mom made me a clown costume.  I loved it!   

6. Pumpkins, Ghosts, or Both?

Okay, so I have called Jason "Punkin" or "Punkie" since we started dating.  So, we are all about pumpkins in the fall.  We love them big and small. =)

But then again, I think this little ghost is pretty cute too!

7. What is your favorite fall fashion item (boots? scarves? sweaters?)

I think scarves are pretty cute!  I love the way boots look, but they just don't look right on me. =(

8. Is leaf pile jumping your thing or not?

I don't think we've ever done that before...GASP!

9. Is "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" a must watch at your house?

It seems like we watch it every year, but it kind of just happens that way.

10. What are you going to be for Halloween this year? (or your kids?)

When it comes to Halloween costumes, I am cheap, cheap, cheap!  I always try to buy costumes when they are 50-75% off.  Last year, I got Addi and Payton witch costumes.  Karsyn is going to wear Addi's hand-me-down witch costume (if I can find tights to match) from a couple of years ago.  Evan and Jason will most likely be vampires.  I usually wear a fun headband or a festive shirt.  I feel dorky dressed up. =)
