It's Almost Halloween!

Happy Almost Halloween!

Yesterday we carved pumpkins which is one of my favorite parts of Halloween. I really like the smell of pumpkin inards. Like, not all the time, but once a year? Yeah, okay! I am sure none of you will be shocked by my telling you that we made a Sorcerer Mickey pumpkin and a Minnie Pumpkin.

They look very cool lit up! We look forward to tomorrow night when they can shine all night, for no real reason since we never get any trick-or-treaters. But whatever. 

Today we had our friend's Halloween party. This was our 5th year going to their Halloween party and it's just so fun! The kids played games and ate treats and played. Childhood fun at it's core. Bingo was the hit game of the day and I think I am going to make a version for Thanksgiving because it was a great time and because it was pictures even M was doing a good job though she really wanted to eat her marshmallow markers. 

My little Minnie was tickled pink that her bestie was ALSO Minnie! Two Minnies running around the party was kind of a hoot. 

Here are my little Minnie Mouse and No. 2 Pencil in a not too shabby picture of them in costume. It's so hard to get a good picture!!

26 years ago the pencil costume was worn by ME! My grandma made me this costume for Halloween when I was 5! Now it's C's turn to be 5 and a pencil! I have no doubt in my mind that my grandma would LOVE that the pencil costume is still in good condition and that her great-grandson was wearing it. 

Tomorrow he will get to go out trick-or-treating wrapped in deep sentiment and I cannot wait! Today was our last day of Fall break and we are right back at school tomorrow! Pumpkin shirts for everyone!
