This year I didn't have to stuff our very practical Halloween pumpkin
princess, because we left the newspaper stuffing in for the
year, and she survived miraculously hanging on a door in the
cold room. I made the princess out of stuffed painted canvas
eight years ago to offer an alternative to all the extremely
expensive ghost and demon machines in the neighbourhood.
I am on Halloween's sweet side, (which for the kids
in our neighbourhood is the whole thing.)(As in candy and then
some.) We bought our first candy for the event today. Last year
the kids were extremely polite. We'd hold out a basket of candy
and say three is the limit, and most just took one chocolate bar.
To mark the occasion the art tonight is the princess. It's been an exceptionally beautiful and sunny week, and we haven't started
on the pumpkins, so this is a former photo.
We love the celebration, and how much kids love it. Halloween
is my birthday, so last year I made them sing Happy Birthday
to me to get the candy. And they did. One group after another.
It was the best.
Tonight pumpkin carving begins.
Have a loving your life day!
