The Gratitude Pumpkin - My Favorite Thanksgiving Tradition Between the Halloween holidays and leading up to the Thanksgiving holidays, you can find pumpkins everywhere. There are pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin scones, pumpkin pie, pumpkin candles, and pumpkin themed clothing, but my favorite pumpkin of all is the "Gratitude Pumpkin." You may have pumpkins left over from Halloween that you used for decorating or a Jack O' Lantern that you didn't have time to carve just laying around, so grab your largest and roundest pumpkin and use it to start a new favorite Thanksgiving tradition.

My tiny Pokémon trainers, Jack and Jacob, are bursting with anticipation. This year, we're going full-on Pokémon – costumes, pumpkins, and all. I hope you can find us. I'm a nervous wreck, though. Jacob's convinced his wings will actually make him fly. He said he can’t wait to wear his costume (bathroom-friendly) to school and fly off after recess. Jacob thinks there’s a remote control that will turn on the wings we made from foam and duct tape. I’m scared to be optimistic that he will wear a costume on Halloween.
