With Halloween a week away, I'm starting to consider what to do about pumpkin carving, what the girls should wear under their costumes to stay warm, and what activities I should pencil into the calendar to make this year fun for the five and three year old.
Pumpkins are, of course, the biggest challenge, but I think that so long as everyone gets to pick their own (with the condition that they can carry it themselves), and we have paints for the girls and pumpkin carving kits for the adults, I think we'll be just fine. Still no ideas yet.
Although the kids have been asking for weeks about Halloween, my husband and I are also getting excited about dressing up and taking the kids around the neighborhood. I hope it doesn't rain (or snow), but even if it does, we can work around that (see below). :-)
I'll of course take millions of pictures, and I'm assuming that everything will go well. I wish everyone a happy and safe Halloween this year! Take care and have fun!

an infernal demand for revenge by children on the adult world." --Jean Baudrillard
