Lovin' Pumpkin Time




I love this time of year. The nip of the autumn breeze. The colors of the trees. The bright orange pumpkins and the feeling of fun in that hangs in the air like the smoke from the burning leaves (the smell of which, I could do without!). It probably has something to do with my birthday being this time of year. Some of my earliest memories are of the excitement I would feel as a little girl seeing the pumpkins and feeling the chill and knowing that my birthday was around the corner!

This year, for the first time in recorded history, Simon and Greg LOVED their costumes AND didn't complain once - about being itchy, feeling scratchy, being too hot or too cold or too tired. They didn't fight about what their costumes would be. Simon wanted to be Captain Hook and Greg chose Peter Pan. All the work that went into making their costumes was worth it! I just hope that I can get a few more "good years" out of them before they deem themselves too cool for Trick-or-Treating!
