Happy Halloween

Hope you are going to have a festive few fun days ahead.  My kids have carved their pumpkins, their costumes have been procured, candy bowl is ready (but out of arms reach) and my front porch looks festive enough to invite kids to trick or treat.

The five year old got to carve his and his momma's pumpkins this year

Earlier this month, the four year old and I joined brother bear and his kindergarten class for a day at the pumpkin patch.

Semi-patiently waiting for the buses to arrive

If you look closely, there is a little boy face peering at me from the front the school bus

And they're off!

We had a fun day hanging out with the kindergarten class.  I think the kids made lots of happy memories.

In the kitchen, roasting pumpkin seeds was a tasty event. I got some assistance from friends on facebook to make yummy yummy roasted pumpkin seeds.

After washing and patting dry the seeds, I laid them out on this lovely, well used cookie sheet and drizzled olive oil, then salt and pepper and then a powder garlic bread mix, as a substitute for plain old garlic powder. I roasted the seeds at 300 degrees for about 40 minutes.

Yeah, that was good :)

Wishing you a festive Halloween celebration!
