We finished carving our jack-o-lantern this morning and put the battery powered 'candles' inside. Since the room wasn't dark enough, Beau suggested that we take it to the restroom where we could turn the lights off and have it very, very dark. So, that is what we did! Took me back to a long ago time! We read Halloween books and had a great time.
We hid little 'lima bean' ghosts in the pumpkin spice play doe and had our friends find them, counting how many they found.
Our big project was making a very simple pumpkin pie with pudding, pumpkin, and little graham cracker pie crusts. I think that I may have introduced a wonderful taste treat to your kids when I brought out the canned whipping cream. Since they hadn't seen it before, I put a smidgen on their finger to lick off. Ooooooh..lala...their eyes got very wide with excitement as they exclaimed, "Wow, this is good!" They had a blast squeezing it onto the little pumpkin pies, but alas only one child was interested in the pie itself. We gave Mr. Jimmy and Ms. Carol a pie for their Friday treat.
Have a great weekend everyone!
