Boo!

As I have mentioned before I have never been a big one for Halloween. Not even when I was a little girl. Now I wasn't as bad as Abby's cousin who flat out refused to go out trick or treating, but I far from loved it. For some reason this year I really got into it. I did some decorating, I carved a butt load of pumpkins, hell I even made a cake.

Actually I made three of them and gave two away to the neighbours. Which in return got me some very delicious frosted cookies. So bonus for me.

In total I think Mike and I carved 8 pumpkins. That was how many we had left from Abby (and Papa's) pumpkin growing experiment this year. And that was after we gave some of those away as well. Out of all of the ones we carved this was my favourite:

Abby had multiple costumes which endedup working out pretty good. This was the one she wore to her school party.

Then for the main event she was Belle from The Beauty and the Beast. Granny got her the whole kit from the Disney store, which may sound extravagant, but Abby wore the life out of her Cinderella dress from last year so we saw it as a wise investment.

There's lots of pictures to be seen at flickr, icluding pictures of the scarecrow Abby and I made today, more pumpkin designs and even a rare picture of the four of us together. Go take a look you won't be disappointed.
