Fall Bucket List Update

 We have a little more time to complete Fall Bucket Lists here in Texas than people up North have but since fall is finally, slowly fading into winter, I thought I'd give you an update on the items we completed & the items we have yet to complete. :) 

Texas State Fair September 25 – October 15
  Went! You can read about it here! :) We had such a great time!

Pumpkin Picking at a Pumpkin Patch (like a real one, not one in a Church parking lot)
Basically a church parking lot. But it was a patch.

Carve our pumpkins that we got at said awesome pumpkin patch
Carved! I carved Sophie & Sebastian's pumpkins into a bat & a cat. They loved them once we lit them all up. We bought two big pumpkins but Zachary ended up just scooping them out & not carving them.

Make some Pumpkin Butter.
Nope. One day. I'm still set on making some.

Make an Apple Pie
It was an apple pie, made from a box but it was made nonetheless & it was delicious.

Decorate our back porch
We decorated our front porch, sort of, does that count? See our scooped out but un-carved pumpkins below?

 
 
Wear something plaid because I'm trendy
I have nothing plaid. I guess I'm not trendy. Oh! I did just get plaid plates from the $1/$3 Target aisle. They're amazing.

Go Camping
Nope but Zachary's asking for some camping gear for Christmas so maybe camping will be on our winter or spring bucket list. 

Pick Persimmons & Make something Persimmony
I haven't seen any. I really should of made something with persimmons when we were in China last year. There's an abundance of them in Qingdao.

Pick Pecans
Haven't seen a place to pick them! 

Have a Bonfire
Yes! We had one! 


Roast Marshmallows
Yes! At Jacob & Lauren's wedding. 
 

Go to a Football game (It doesn't matter what kind! College, Pro, (<ya, right! We can't afford either of those tickets) high school, Little league, whatever, as long as it's football!)
Nope. And I guess I'm okay with it.

Make popcorn Balls
Nope. Ate a million other things this fall though. ;)

Find a favorite fall candle
So many favorites. My all time favorite is the Red Velvet Candle which isn't fall per say. I have a variety of candles around the house that all smell amazing! I'm kind of digging an espresso candle my brother got me for my birthday right now. 

Make hand print turkeys with Sophie

Nope. Completely forgot!

Go to a Corn Maze
Yes! Checkity Check.

Hike Enchanted Rock
Nope.

Host a Soup Party Sharing our Laoshan New Spring tradition!

Yes! It was a great time! I'll blog about it soon. :) You should host a soup party if you haven't!

Maybe Wurstfest November 6-15
Nope
 
And there's an update folks! I may not have completed every task on this fall bucket list but we still had a fun-filled fall. It was one for the books. Now on to all the fun winter activities (which are very few in Texas but we'll find time!) !
