My Last Halloween Post for 2009

.
.
We have a Halloween tradition, me and my two young trick-or-treaters.
.
On Halloween, we first trick-or-treat in a little retirement community.

.

Not so much because the candy there is better, but because the citizens seem to be tickled by trick-or-treaters.




Some are waiting for trick-or-treaters in the rocking chairs on their porch.

This sweet lady asked, "Do you want an apple or an orange?"


And this sweet lady had her curlers in.

.
We first started visiting this retirement community to see my 90-something year old cousin. It turns out her sister was visiting, so we got to see cousins.

When Ruth came to visit Irene, she brought her a cute little toy Witch that you could push her head down and then she's pop up and say something.

.

Watch my cousin Ruth (in the light green) in this video.



She jumped every time the witch popped up. Every 20 times, at least.
.
She said she does the same with her toaster.
.
Me too.


After our visit with the sweet elderly, we went to our friends for more trick-or-treating.
,

And remember the girls pulling the guts out of their pumpkins?

The results-

Designed by Naomi: Robot Pumpkin.




Designed by Zoe: A Vampire.

.

Stay tuned, for tomorrow I shall bring you a delicious recipe with the funnest name!

.

And has anyone noticed how quiet my blog has been?

I removed my play list. Truth be told, I struggled with having it on my blog after day 2. But if you loved my taste in music (which would take a miracle) and miss it, you can hear it here.

it's funny you should post about "jumping" and removing you music at the same time because every time i came to you blog and all of a sudden that music would come on, I'D jump! i like music...but not so much with my blogs. (the kids looked adorable in their costumes)

Oh my goodness, how cute. how do you have a 90 year old cousin? It is so fun to see your Zoe and Naomi again. I have missed you all. It almost makes my eyes sweat.

My daughter forgot to pull the guts out of her pumpkin this year. That shows what a bad mother I am. When I came on your blog today I had a flashback of how spirited you are for the holidays. LUB IT!
