This is what the girls woke up to on Halloween morning. I had wanted to do something more spook-tacular with breakfast but hey, there is always next year!
Off to school they went with their party goodies and fair weather costumes. A great time was had by both. They came home full of stories of treats eaten, costumes and other fun stuff. Elspeth also came home with rainbows painted on her cheeks and a blue “necklace” on her neck. She was right proud of them. Took two baths to scrub the blue necklace off properly. Guess that is what soap is for.
After an appropriately planned dinner of soup and grilled cheese it was time to set out the pumpkins. As you can see from my photo of the girls on the porch in their cold, rainy costumes (Yup, memories of last year), we only have one pumpkin. That is because Katrine’s jack-o-lantern had a wee….well rather prounounced mishap on its way to the porch. It slipped from Katrine’s hands and broke. Never fear, as this photo was being taken Baba, aka Mad Pumpkinologist, broke out the tools to resurrect said pumpkin. It later joined the group outdoors as Frankenpumpkin. (I don’t have a photo yet but will try to put one up soon).
One of Elspeth’s friends joined us for some of the trick or treating which was fun. Elspeth because she had a friend to compare goodies with and Katrine because she got extra loot with the two wee ones in tow. We came home cold and tired to warm cups of cocoa and too much sugar. A fun Halloween.
