Happy Halloween!

Getting ready for the big day...

 I-N-H-A-L-E.  The smell of pumpkin fills the kitchen. We love squishing the stringy pulp in our hands and scooping out the seeds! 



Ahem, a little assistance from Daddy for the polka-dots!

 

 

 

The pumpkin seeds are rinsed, dried and seasoned for roasting...

 

 

 

Hot and ready to eat!

Annabel's polka-dot jack-o-lantern

Anita's ghostly jack-o-lantern, designed by her!

 My heart-o-lantern

 

 

 

And last but not least, my cat Buddy, "dressed up" for Halloween...

 

I can't show you the girls' costumes yet, as children are not allowed to dress up at their school.  I find it silly, but anyhow, they will have all day to anticipate dressing up after school! 


It continues to rain this morning, as it has been for the past few days.  Hopefully, we will see a reprieve for the  trick-or-treaters tonight.  How is the weather behaving where you are?  Are any of you dressing up today?  Are you doing anything special tonight?  I would love to know how you are celebrating today.   


Happy Halloween, dear friends!  I hope you all enjoy a safe, fun night!  xo
