I was so lucky to be able to volunteer at Xander’s school for Pumpkin Days this year! He was so excited — every morning he’d ask, “Is today pumpkin patch day?” and it just melted my heart.
I was assigned to the “Magic Pumpkin” station, where we made bubbles fizz and foam with baking soda and vinegar. It was messy, chaotic, and so much fun! But my favorite moment, hands down, was when Xander’s class walked in. He scanned the room looking for me, and when he finally spotted me, his whole face lit up. That smile made my heart absolutely soar.
I might have abandoned my station partner a bit so I could join Xander at each activity… but how could I not? I wasn’t about to miss a minute with my sweet boy.
When it came time to pick out pumpkins, Xander proudly chose the biggest one he could find. As soon as we got home, he ran inside to show Christopher his prize. Christopher joked, “Should we cook it?” — and the look on Xander’s face was priceless! He was not on board with that idea. From that moment on, he was extra protective of his pumpkin — even bringing it along to the bus stop to show Nick when he got home.
It was such a fun, joy-filled day, and I’m so grateful I got to experience it with him. These are the moments I never want to forget. 🎃❤️
