We took at trip to Larriland Farm to pick apples with the playgroup friends. It was so much fun to be out there with everyone to enjoy the season and spend some time together since the kiddos started separate schools, and our regular Wednesday playgroups ended.
Our next farm stop was at Shlagel Farms with the Honeybees Hive (Tommy's preschool). We took a tractor ride, played in a cornbox, and picked out a pumpkin. Good stuff.
We also checked out the annual Howard Homecoming parade. Heading down to Georgia and Florida Avenues to watch is becoming a bit of a tradition for us. Tommy still loves those marching bands, and he brought his own drum to play along this year.
He looks a bit grossed out in this pic, but he enjoyed carving the pumpkin.
Impromptu Halloween costume number 1 - Construction Worker. We had to get him dressed up in this outfit due to his parents' procrastination. His "real" costume wasn't ready in time for a day out in the neighborhood. We more than made up for it in the end by finishing up his other costume in time for trick-or-treating (see later pics). And, he really liked this one, too, so it wasn't a big deal.
At The Park at LeDroit, Tommy was recruited by a local Japanese culture youth group to join in their drumming and dancing. They had him at "drum." He was fascinated and went along with the show for a time before getting spooked and running back to us crying. Then a nice member of the troupe let him bang her drum a bit which made him extremely happy.
"I'm a bat!" Costume number 2 was a huge success! In fact, he wore it today, the first day of December. Gotta give Papa the costume maker a pat on the back for this one.
"I'm a scary bat!"
