Happy Halloween!
This week has been so busy that today was the first time our family could sit down and carve pumpkins together. I cleaned them all out before the kids got home from school . . .
. . . then Daddy came home from work a little early so we could carve them before dinner. Everyone is old enough to carve their own jack-o-lantern now except Todd (although he did draw his own design for me to carve this year).
Joy meticulously created a pumpkiny homage to Andromeda and her little sister Luna.
As each jack-o-lantern was completed, I lit it and set it out on our porch to welcome . . .
. . . the dozens of trick-or-treaters who visited our door this evening. This mob of costumed kids was a new experience for us, since our family is used to living in rental communities where we could count each year's trick-or-treaters on one hand. Tonight, I tasked Chef Daniel with handing out treats while I put dinner on the table (note to self: eat dinner early on 10/31 next year), then I gave out candy while Daddy took the kids trick-or-treating. I'll think I'll go with them next year, so I can get to know our neighbors better.
