Halloween is always so much fun around here and, as usual, everybody who came over had a good time slurping soup and sneaking candy from the various bowls and buckets around the house & yard! We carved pumpkins on Tuesday and set up the decorations, then waited for Wednesday to come. I kept busy at Lars' school in the morning, complete with a trick or treat parade up town, then to the library for story hour with Elia. The afternoon was spent puttering in the kitchen with some music on and candles burning, just waiting for the boys & ghouls to show up.
Eden, inspired by a class project about dressing up like a futuristic character for Red Ribbon Week, chose to be a robot. Lars wanted to be a Pay-loader slash Bridgeport City Worker this year which gave Allen some room for creativity in the garage, along with a few late nights. Elia didn't want to be anything until the morning of. I asked her if she wanted to dress up in a costume for Lars' costume parade at school and she said, "YEP!" I tried the ladybug on her before breakfast and she didn't take it off to eat or sleep until bath time last night. It was so funny, she just wore it around town and around the house all day. You can do that when you're two.
Today, I'm cleaning up the mess of the past two days, cutting up & cooking pumpkins for all the pumpkin recipes I look forward to making in November, and pondering where October went.
Happy Fall to you.
