Pumpkin time!

How we do Halloween:
go to a couple Fall festivals

pick a pumpkin or two- or four (or go to Walmart and find 'em! whatever)

find a cutie patootie pun'kin!

have Daddy set up to carve 

design something

murder the pumpkin, get frustrated, messy and use too many muscles


put it on the front porch
and be at peace with it

put Polly in her bee costume and try to take a picture of her

dress up in costumes that cost $0.
just get need energy and Nana's help to be creative and pull s'mthg together
this year: a hippie and a Greek goddess
(every year they go as something together, this year was "people in the past")

look at Steve/Heather back in Star Wars time. Awesome.
Hans Solo, Princess Lei, Luke Skywalker and....
the cutest Yoda ever.

....can't forget about eating the traditional chili, trick or treating
and too. much. candy.

There ya have it: Halloween.
