HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I have always had mixed feelings about Halloween. I don't like the dark side of this holiday with all the witches, scary stuff and dead people. Why would anyone want to celebrate evil? On the other hand, it is so much fun to dress up and roam the neighborhood in search of goodies. It's all about the trick or treating, isn't it? We thought we had moved beyond the carving and costume stage a few years back but I guess we were wrong.

Carving pumpkins was really quite fun this year. As usual, Allen was in charge of the carving operation while I made the pumpkin seeds. Seems like a good deal to me! Roselyn, Romeo and Rodrigo did a fine job creating their scary faces...Kristin and Steph added their pumpkins to the mix later. All in all, a fine year for Jack-O-Lanterns.

Costumes of choice this year - STAR WARS STORM TROOPERS! We have NEVER had Star Wars ANYTHING! so this was kind of a rare treat. It was definitely a boy's Halloween this year... and well... it was a refreshing change from the endless years of princess costumes!
