Happy Halloween!

Space Ghost, Puppy, and Pirate!  This is from a week ago, when we went to a Halloween game party.  Lily won first prize in her age group, a jar of homemade pear raspberry jam.  I won in my category, too!  I got a jar of brandied pears, yum!  And even better, the adulation of everyone there (the judging was by clapping). 

Dad and Lily carving pumpkins today.

Working on the monkey-face pumpkin.

Wow! GREAT costumes!
I love the Pirate. Good work.

I remember carving pumpkins with my nephews. It was a riot. The carving tools were the most interesting things to them. And getting the goo out! And having the pumpkin seeds toasted!

I don't miss it. But it's a fond memory.

Did Lily enjoy it?
