Fall! Fall! Fall! This year I just can't get enough of Fall. The weather changing, the warm coffees, crunching leaves while running through the park with my little one. Swoon! We've definitely been keeping busy with fall decorating, crafts, pumpkin carving, drinking cider, and of course jumping in leaf piles!
We're currently working on starting some new family traditions this year. My son,
Isaiah, who just turned 3 this past May, is finally old enough to start doing a lot of different activities instead of just watching and I'm loving it! We recently visited the Simmons Farmstand and picked up a few pumpkins. Isaiah, loved the idea of having a pumpkin family so that's what we did! Presenting Mr and Mrs. Lantern and baby Jack haha! He loved watching his father carve the faces into the pumpkins giving them personality.
The next logical thing to do was to make homemade pumpkin seeds. After separating the seeds from the pumpkin membrane, I took seasonings (whatever your seasoning preference is- I used salt and cracked peppercorn) and tossed them in a small amount of olive oil. Next I pre-heated the oven at 350 degrees and let them bake until they were completely toasted (about 25 minutes) stirring occasionally. So good!
Fall is just such a wonderful season! And it's so awesome starting new traditions that we'll be continuing for a long time to come! What kind of traditions do you carry out with you families?
