Pumpkin Seeds



One of the best things (for me anyway) about Halloween is roasting the pumpkin seeds from the Jack-o-Lanterns.
This year I went simple, coating them in a small amount of oil and a few dashes of salt.
My hope is to pass on my love of pumpkin seeds to my kids. That is if I don't eat them all first.

Trick or Treat


Like always, my kids were super psyched about trick-or-treat this year.  Seriously, their love of dress-up coupled with candy and staying out past dark, what's not to like?

We bought our pumpkins from a family farm on the way home from the Praise Peddler Festival a couple weeks ago.  Jason's was simply massive and when we carved it, I thought heavy machinery would be involved.




In the end, we decided that he needed to limit his creation to something with straight lines.  So, Jason created a Evil Robotic pumpkin, Micah made his a Scary pumpkin and Hannah did a Cute and Pretty pumpkin.



Costumes this year were pretty easy.  Micah went as Jango Fett, Hannah is Princess Jasmine and Jason was Ben Kenobi.  (Apparently, he felt the need to differentiate which era Kenobi he was.)  They had a great time and made a great haul of lots of sugary goodness.
