Someone asked me what my plans were for Halloween ...
I'm a mom ... I don't celebrate Halloween ... I live it!

Halloween Fun Thru The Years
2024
We have discovered blow-ups for Halloween! We have a very festive yard complete with our new friend, Skelly the skeleton.
So much fun cleaning, ewww, carving and drawing on our pumpkins! Of course, Halloween is not complete without a Pumpkin pizza from Papa Johns!
2023
Inspired by our recent trip to Disneyland, we took on a Marvel theme for Halloween this year! Scarlet Witch, Dr. Strange, and the cutest Spiderman and Iron Man!
We really got into Trick or Treating this year and carving our pumpkins!
2022
The Austin Aquarium sponsors a Halloween event we decided to try out this year. We explored the ocean and animals in full costume (for free admission).
The boys also got their hands dirty carving pumpkins, ewww, so much fun!
2021
A little more normal this year. We tried a new festival going to nearby Georgetown and the Sweet Eats Farm. We had a blast with all the animals, horse-back-riding, and picking out our pumpkins to carve.
Big Boy also had at his school a trunk-and-treat festival with Spooky book readings and more which was a lot of fun!
We carved and decorated pumpkins, and went trick-or-treating. I think the boys as Baby Yoda and Mandalorian won best costume of the neighborhood. Thank you Grandma and Papa for coming over and handing out candy so we could all go trick-or-treating!

2020
This whole year has been a spookfest! We decided to take our chances and try out Barton Hill Farms, doing some research I was impressed by what they were doing to stay careful and what we encountered did not fail us. Staff was around everywhere after we played with some balls they sanitized them and after the boys rode the bee train the seats were wiped down. There were reminders everywhere and although there were some visitors who did not wear masks, masks were required in all of the lines for food and tickets. They also transitioned to completely cashless this year so there was no exchange of money and cards could be used on an external reader.
2019
This year Big Boy is REALLY into Halloween! Everything is spooky, ghost, spider, ahhh! He loves our decorations out front a blow-up pumpkin and ghost and loves his dinosaur costume!
We visited two pumpkin patches this year, Sweet Berry Farms and Barton Hill Farms. The little guy took his first steps at the second pumpkin patch! Then Halloween day we went to downtown Round Rock to celebrate with the city. By the time trick or treating time rolled around, we were out!
2018
First Halloween for our little guy! We had a Winnie the Poo duo with Pooh Bear and Tigger.
We had a very special visitor, our great-auntie visiting! We went up to Magnolia in Waco to enjoy the day. The Jaxx Bean Bags Chairs were a hit (and still on my Christmas list!)
Luckily day of Big Boy was in a good mood and cooperated for one very very cute photo!
Since it was a rainy, stormy, spooky Halloween, our Downtown Round Rock festival didn’t seem quite right. We tried out the Cedar Park festival that is at their town center. Big Boy really enjoyed seeing the fire trucks and police cars!
2017
More pumpkin patches for Big Boy! Tractors, pumpkins, goats, and hay brought new things to explore.
Fall always brings a roll of the dice in the weather department in Austin, it can be cold or it can be 90 degrees. This year Halloween turned cold and rainy just as evening rolled in. Bela and Grandpa came over to help broken foot mom a little and we ventured to downtown Round Rock for the Hometown Halloween that we enjoyed last year so much. The plan was to meet #woodbytedad there. Best laid plans. We got to downtown and it started pouring and the wind kicked up so we (I rolled) wandered into Fire in the Hole and got warm.
Can't forget our master carver, and this years pumpkin is C-3PO.
2016
This little ghost and goblin visited many people, places, and things this Halloween. Big Boy was a bee this year to celebrate his fascination with bees. We celebrated his 6-month special day at the pumpkin patch and the whole family came to visit including grandparents, aunts, cousins and great aunts and uncles. Big Boy sat inside a pumpkin, celebrated at Gymboree with a Pumpkin Parade, went to a special day at the Thinkery with Bela and Grandpa, visited the Hometown Halloween festival and gave lots of candy out to the trick or treaters! #woodbytedad is a master carver and made the best R2D2 pumpkin!
