We are certainly enjoying the ghoulish goings-on of Halloween. This weekend we busted open the holiday bins and decorated with all things spooky. Grandma J supplied us with some new additions this year: Our very large, furry spider and the kids' glowing ghosts--adored by them at bedtime.

The decorations didn't stop there. We got crafty too. The kids painted cut-out egg cartons in black, added googly eyes and ribbon and wha-la! Bizarre little bats to display and share.
This weekend we had pumpkin pancakes with chocolate chip jack-o-lantern faces! They were bland as could be because Keri forgot to put the cinnamon and nutmeg in the batter. The last few were saved from having a vapid existence with a few dashes thrown in last minute. Thankfully my children do not have sophisticated palates yet.
Lunches are getting a little extra fright factor this month with these creepy critters encased in their boxes. After they bring them home from school, they get tossed in the bathtub along with the kids.
Autumn and winter are always so exciting because of the great holidays. However, by the time New Year's rolls around Keri is SO ready to get all decorations down and derive great pleasure from the minimalistic surroundings again.
