Boo!
We are in full blown Halloween
mode at this house. Robby is looking forward to pumpkin and bat shaped
pancakes for breakfast followed by "slaughtered noodles" for lunch.
Dinner is a surprise but is always spooky! I'm thinking roasted raven
and mutilated ghosts (chicken and mashed potatoes) might hit the spot.
After all, I have to make sure that he is well fed before tackling the
neighborhood trick-or-treating.
Yesterday
evening we carved the first of two pumpkins. I learned an important
lesson this year when we went to the pumpkin patch. Robby needs
guidelines when choosing his gourd! I have no doubt that he chose the
largest pumpkin in the patch, weighing in at over 45 pounds. The walls
were three inches thick and were a bear to cut through. Undeterred, he
toiled for over an hour, carefully carving and scooping out the seeds.
This is the first year that he has carved his own pumpkin without
assistance, and he is proud of his creation!
I
know that I have admitted this before, but it bears repeating. My
husband is a really good sport when it comes to coordinating/ matching
outfits. He never balks and compliantly puts on whatever outfit I
request. Robby doesn't realize how lucky he is to have a Daddy who will
don a coordinating costume to take him trick-or-treating.
Since
Robby was born, he and Scott have always worn complimentary Halloween
costumes. The first few years were a lot of fun, primarily because Robby
was too young to make any requests so my creativity could flow freely.
As he has become older, he has taken the lead on choosing his costume.
This is the first year that he specifically requested both his and his
Daddy's special outfits. I have to admit that I wasn't thrilled with the
selection, but I obliged and began to assemble the ensembles.
I'll
post this year's Halloween costumes tonight, after the boys dress for
Trick-or-Treating. In the meantime, have a Spooktacular Happy Halloween!
Argghh!! Pirate fun.

Check back tonight!
