Teddy had an unusual request for his Halloween costume. He wanted to be a giant chest. I wasn't sure what he meant, so he drew me a picture of his face smack in the middle of a giant chest. So I got to working on it.
It took a bit to come up with something that might work. In the end, I used a few boxes, batting, and fabric.
He liked it, but it got a bit itchy, so he didn't wear it long. We went to the school's trunk-or-treat, and he had fun telling everyone what his costume was. They had a grand time.
Later, I was privileged to go with Teddy on his field trip to the pumpkin patch. We had discussed the colors that pumpkins come in on the wagon ride to the fields. Teddy was happy to acknowledge that they come in green. His teacher found a green one for him, and Teddy insisted I take it.
Teddy insisted on being buried in the corn.
I loved this chicken coop!
We had too much fun. One of his classmates latched on to me, so I had fun helping her as well as Teddy. It was a delightful day. Just as they were lining up for the buses, Teddy disappeared. I found him, but his teacher was worried for a bit. I had just handed him off to her and was heading to the other exit when I looked back and couldn't see him. He was trying to join a different class. We got him put to rights, and then I went to purchase some pumpkin doughnuts to take home.
The last 2 months have been unseasonably warm, and the pumpkins didn't last long. We had trampled several rotted ones in the field when we were looking for ones to take home. Mine was a small green pumpkin, and it didn't last the day. Teddy's class kept theirs to paint at school, and they came home pretty soft. I felt bad for them.
