happy halloween

by

Hello my friends! How are you and how was your weekend? I hope it was filled with good happy things.

It’s Halloween today! Yeah! Although, the only frightful thing about it is that it’s the last day of October already. I can’t believe it but I am surely reminded when I’m digging in my closet for thick wooly sweaters for extra layers and then pulling my winter hat over my ears when I’m outside. The cold is here, but I’m ready to take it on ;)

Over the weekend, we went for a lovely brisk walk on a cool late afternoon with my friend and the kiddo in the stroller looking for pumpkins. Three neighbourhood stores and no pumpkins – but our mission was not a complete failure. It was lovely listening to the crunching leaves under our feet, stopping and listening to the quiet darkness on a cool night enjoying the crisp air and good conversation…

So all the pumpkins were sold out – this was very disappointing for only 3 seconds. By then the word was sent and before we returned home we had a bright orange pumpkin waiting on the front steps – technology makes me happy. Seeing my little girl excited about her own pumpkin makes me happy. Enjoying a nice evening at home with tea, a friend and home made brownies while watching my daughter and husband attend to the pumpkin carving makes me very happy. (by the way, my little 4 year old drew the face on herself and daddy cut it out as per her design – not bad huh? and there were no double lines. she is very precise and creative ;)

Wishing you a safe and Happy Halloween! xo

Please share if are celebrating and how your trick or treating went…

  2. It looks like she had a great time prepping and carving her pumpkin! I had bought 3 last week, and none of them got carved. It’s a crime, isn’t it? At least the kids got to “decorate” one each, with those plastic pieces that you stick in your pumpkin to create a face, almost like a mister potato head. Except one is for a witch, the other Frankenstein. But I still have the 3 pumpkins, so I’m gonna have to make some puree and roasted seeds sometime in the next week I suppose… More pumpkin recipes to come perhaps ;)
