I love Halloween! Its the favorite here over all of the holidays! All the spookiness, the Halloween Bling (and the candy), and all the joyous, costumed kids (and grown kids) enjoying it!
This year for the Pumpkin - I grabbed some cookie cutters - namely a fish and a star and used those as the guide to help me carve the pumpkin! It worked amazingly well!
I am one of those people who, without guidance, will totally destroy the eyes and the mouth of any pumpkin face - always just a knifecut too far!
I was thrilled with the outcome this time - and the fish are a fun homage to my kid who was a fisher of men and a fishing guide for a bit!
Ike thinks that a bite of pumpkin might be a great thing! He dont care that theres fire in there! We have to do the pumpkin thing for me - not because we get any trick or treaters - which we dont! We live down a long dirt road, and then a long dark driveway, and we arent event the spookiest house on the street!
We are also right in the middle of a snowstorm that dropped about 6" of new snow on us today - after we had school cancelled on Tuesday because we got 13" of snow! Ain't nobody wanna try to drive out here today! It's all good though! I have Ike the excited about the pumpkin Dog!
Brix on the other hand is not so sure about the whole thing! He might like a toasted pumpkin seed but keep that orange ball of weird flaming pumpkin away from him! He does love the pumpkin dog treats that I make with the guts and the "pumpkin leavings" though. Those are his favorites!
You can get the recipe for my special dog treats HERE!
I hope that Halloween is more treat than trick, and that you have lots of everything you need to make it joyous - including your furry friends!
Blessed and spooky BE!
