We had a good time assembling and delivering individual Halloween s'mores to friends and acquaintances. It was easy with two graham cracker squares, a orange, pumpkin Jet Puffed marshmallow, and snack size Hershey's bar. So cute all packaged up in printed bags and ribbon.
We have been finding new ways to entertain ourselves with the huge pumpkins we got for the kids (totally for the kids, eer, right?). The kids have rolled them all over the house since they are too heavy to lift. This is fine until the lights are out and Mom or Dad while reaching for the light switch kick their toes into the firmly planted squash. Keri even split a toenail! Not pretty.
They have drummed the pumpkins while listening to upbeat Halloween songs.
We measured them with a tape measure and talked about circumference. Sophie feels quite triumphant that hers is wider by 3 inches and higher by 1 inch. Rhys could care less. In fact, he feels that tape measure just needs to stay away from his pumpkin altogether.
Also, we have conceptualized various pumpkin faces and applied them by way of play dough. Carving will come closer to Halloween.
We have been eating some "Halloween" soups. That's how you get your kids to eat ugly soup--give it a fun name.

The bubble bath took on an eerie glow with the glow-in-the-dark masks and braclets that were tossed in the tub (thanks for the goodies Grandma Sue!).
