Having young children can inspire a person to celebrate Halloween with great fanfare. Thus, my daughter carving the cannibal pumpkin---
---dressing up as a ghoulish, green witch, filling the cauldron with candy, and in general, enjoying the fun as much as the kids. The whole courtyard was decked out with a graveyard scene complete with fogger and sound affects.
Even Mother-in-law, Olga, got into the spirit of things wearing a witch hat while preparing dinner for all of us. Who can resist the "witchy mother-in-law" cliche, except anyone would be delighted to have Olga as a mother-in-law.
The kids picked their costumes with extra care and examined and adored them for days before.
They practiced their super hero moves with flare.
Encouraging trick-or-treaters to come to YOUR house was fun. Trick-or-treating was gobs of fun. But, the best part, the very best part, is counting your booty and hoarding it for the days to come.
Yum, Yum.
As adults we remembered the things we didn't like in our sack. Anything good for you, like apples, walnuts and bananas. The worst was a penny. And a tooth brush from the dentist. Oh, no!
From the look of things, it was a very exciting Halloween. And for me, a new recipe, I'll share tomorrow.
