Happy Hallow's Eve

The pumpkins are carved. Seeds are toasting in the oven. Candy is laid out on a festive tray for the little ghosts and goblins that live on the street. Our street is quiet and dark, without sidewalks or street lamps, so not many other children brave the unknown that is our little piece of heaven.

Dinner will be tummy warming chicken and dumplings, paired with a spinach salad and gingerbread cake for dessert. Then - a fashion show of homemade creations and store bought characters. We have an unofficial vote on which costume we like the best. Since most of our little one's are young Halloween will be over by six o'clock. A short, fun, festive night.

October is over. The clocks will change. We'll wake to November and the start of winter.
