1. Go apple picking!
Apple picking can be a really fun thing to do with your significant other! It does not cost very much and you get to eat fresh apples for the following week! Or even better... make APPLE PIE!!! Who doesn't like apple pie during the fall? (Sorry for those who do not like it or have allergies! Maybe try a different dessert.)

2. Have a pumpkin carving contest.
Buy/pick two big pumpkins, scoop out the seeds and gooey grossness and see who can come up with a more creative design besides your typical Jack o Lantern. Have your friends judge without telling them which pumpkin belongs to whom. Then you can bake the pumpkin seeds! (I just really love the food aspect of autumn.)

3. Come up with a corny Halloween costume and make it together.
Some ideas: salt and pepper, peanut butter and jelly, cookies and milk, spaghetti and meatballs. (Alright, I think I need to eat some lunch, but there are a ton of different ideas on Pinterest and many are cheap and homemade.)

4. Stay inside, snuggle up and watch scary movies all night.
Break out the popcorn, it's time to watch every single Halloween movie there is. Slasher movies, paranormal activity movies, possessed doll movies: watch them all! Keep a personal scoreboard of how many times you and your SO jump and see who is the bigger scaredy-cat.

5. Rake up the leaves in Grandma's yard and jump in the pile (then of course clean it up for her.)
Find someone in your family, your friends' families, or one of your neighbors and volunteer to help them with their yard work after the leaves fall. It's a great way to help out someone in need and have fun with your SO. Just make sure you cover up your skin to avoid any potential bugs.
6. Try a new recipe together!
It can be a very fun experience together, and if does not turn out great the first time, you can always try again or just go out to eat it if it simply turns out horrendously.
