'Happy Halloween' to all!
This year we had 2 medieval maidens, a dragon, a florescent frankenstein and a gorilla--that scared all the little trick-or-treaters.
As always, we enjoyed 'Dinner in a Pumpkin' before trick -or- treating. We tried a variation this year that we enjoyed-- I saved the pieces we cut from our jack o lanterns (done Halloween afternoon) and peeled off the skin. Then I cubed it and popped in the microwave to jumpstart it. I made the usual rice and meat mixture, but tossed in the half cooked cubed pumpkin, and baked the casserole. The presentation wasn't as cute but more kid friendly. I even told Lily the orange chunks were cantelope--she didn't ask questions and devoured it. (I later told her it was pumpkin; and she likes it!)
