We had so much fun carving pumpkins this year. My little guy absolutely loved it. So much so that we've had to go out and light the candles in them each evening before bedtime so that he can jump around and enjoy them.
His is the little one in the middle, named "Happy Evil", his daddy's is "Happy" on the right and mine is "Saucy Evil Genius" to the left. ;-)
Will be taking my wee Captain Jack Sparrow out trick or treating in the evening after his party at preschool. (Sorry, Johnny Depp, I love you, but you got nothin' on my Capt'n for cuteness!) Let's hope for a mild evening for all the kidlets.
Now, for those of you who enjoy a little atmospheric music to go with your smoky green grog, here is a cover by The Strangelings of Donovan's 1966 classic, Season of the Witch. Love the avian imagery in this version.
Wishing you all spooky goodness on Halloween. Bwwwaaahhhaaahhaaa...
Halloween was quite thrilling this year. My little guy, at 2 1/2, is old enough to catch some of the magic of it, so we headed out to the country to the pumpkin festival held annually at Prairie Garden and Greenhouses.
It was a spooky affair, to be sure. There we met this little piglet who sadly declared she lost half her nose when she wiped it. I think the stuffed animal she won made up for it, though. Our little tiger immediately found the pumpkin of his dreams, just big enough to carry and rub his cheek against in affection. :)
He was most mesmerized by the strange animals
The flamboyant chickens
and strutting turkeys were much more fascinating than our kittycats have ever been...
This horned creature seemed to think everybody was there to feed him exclusively
Next, the little tiger found himself walking the plank
Fortunately, he was able to forego a battle with this rather suspicious looking knight
Who seemed to be more interested in creatures of the firebreathing variety
Lurking in a corner was the mysterious Mr. Mossman, and his adoring wife
Maybe they were avoiding this fellow; you don't want disturb him, he might be hungry...
Of course, in other seasons this spooky place transforms into a garden centre so there had to be a beautiful flower
