And Samhain :)

What a lovely day and night we had! The Girl was dressed as a "mobster" and she had so much fun trick or treating with friends. They even made a trip through the graveyard. The Boy and I set up some spooky music for folks walking to our door, and we lit up our pumpkins on a table outside.

I had several teen trick or treaters and I was so thrilled to see big kids in on the fun too. There was a super fat baby "Jack Sparrow" that stole my heart even. ;)

In between kids at the door I made a big batch of homemade chili just like my mom made this time of year, and a warm apple pie heavy on the cinnamon. When the Girl got home we had some friends stop by to show us costumes and we visited them a bit which was fun. Then we had a late dinner and we did some divination. We also watched "The Terror" starring a very young Jack Nicholson. There was a twist I didn't see coming at all. Niiice.

I set some wine and sliced apple outside as an offering, and spent some time outside talking to my mother who passed from this life in 98' as well as any visiting energies. Very peaceful and fun with the kids.

TOO MUCH CANDY! Thank the various gods we are almost out. LOL
