It's one of my favorite times of the year.
Recipes:
caramel apple jam
Pumpkin chili, bread, and pancakes
spiced apple cider
Activities/crafts: Pumpkin carving. I host a pumpkin carving party unless Halloween is in the middle of the week (like this year), then I host a murder mystery. Paper crafts- bats, pumpkins, witch hats, monster parts glitter webs
Favorite Books:
Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich
Pretty much any autumn themed book. One about a cat makes soup, the reasons one girl loves autumn, really wish I could remember their names.
Movies:
Mad Monster Party
Hocus Pocus
Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Field Trip:
Apple Hill Farm
