Our Halloween was a good one. I hope yours was too. We started the day by going up to Charlie's preschool to watch the Halloween parade. There really is nothing cuter than little kids in costumes. Charlie looked amazing as a purple dinosaur, and he really enjoyed himself. After that, Harrison and I came home and did some schoolwork then made a quick trip to the market. In the afternoon, it was pumkin carving time. The boys were all set to help us carve the pumpkins, that is until they felt the inside of one. Yuck!
Robert did a great job this year carving. I got the seeds ready for roasting. I've never done this, but have always wanted to try it. I just set the oven to 300 degrees, and cleaned and dried the seeds. Once that was done I put them on a jelly roll pan, drizzled them with some olive oil and sprinkled them with some kosher salt. They went in the oven for 30 minutes. They are so good, I've been snacking on them since.
Charlie was so excited to trick or treat, he must have asked me every ten minutes from 4:00 on, "Is it time now?" At six we were ready. My parents came over to give out some candy. My mom once again out did herself with the costumes, she made all three. We had a pirate, a dinosaur and Anakin Skywalker.
Harrison's costume was from last year, I think she was quite happy about that. The dinosaur costume gave her fits, but turned out soooo cute. Charlie had a long tail. Usually someone was holding it, or we would let it drag. It looks fairly well this morning. It just needs to be cleaned. I caught him holding it himself last night.
We left with my sister's family, and some friends of ours and walked and walked and walked. The kids had so much fun and I love being part of a big group like that. We got home at 8:30, the boys have more candy then they could possibly eat, I've weeded out the questionable ones, and I know Robert and I will eat some of it too. Just a little. :)
