'Tis the Season of Pumpkin Pie

Dale and I have really been getting into this lately. The pies have been from Kowalski's and we've been whipping the cream ourselves. 

Halloween Season 2014 - Noel's Hat

My friend Noel tried on this petite witch's hat in early October while we were shopping for Halloween tchotchkes. I think she's trying to make her nose twitch like Samantha on Bewitched.

Halloween 2014 - Pete's Family



Pete's family went as Star Wars characters. It was so cute that little Emma was Chewbacca. When Steph sent pictures I initially though she was an Ewok. Abby was R2D2, Stephanie was Princess Leia, and Pete and Xander were storm troopers.

Halloween 2014 - The Great Pumpkin

Caught It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown for the second time this season.  Never underestimate the importance of having a signed document notorized.

Halloween 2014 - Ghost Stories

I try to read a few selections from Ghost Stories every Halloween season. This year I read 'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You My Lad' by M.R. James. In it, a man digs up a whistle. When he blows it it summons an otherworldly being, although not immediately. Another I read was The Open Window by Saki, which is the pen name of Hector Hugh Munro. This was an interesting tale with an interesting twist.

Happy Halloween 2014
