Halloween and a scary tail/tale

Halloween was eventful this year...pumpkin carving, baking, classroom volunteering, trunk or treat, trick or treat and missing cats. Let's start from the top. The kids had a lot of fun this year carving the pumpkin. Finally neither of them are grossed out by the insides of the pumpkin.The final product. The kids always like to add the green ears on the pumpkin.

I also did some baking for the C's classroom. I think the spiderweb cupcakes turned out great. Good news is they were also yummy! I spent the part of the afternoon helping out at C's school party. The kids had a parade, and party. C was a ballerina
And H was a soccer zombie - all his idea.

The cat also decided to enjoy Halloween. Chewy followed a family around the neighborhood as they trick or treated - he had to pick the only family who is completely afraid of all pets! We tried to get him to come home, but he wasn't having it and continued running around after all the trick or treaters. I can only imagine that he was thinking - "this is great everyone is out to play". We figured he would just come home later, but another neighbor lady thought he was lost, rescued him (took him to her house), and put found signs up all over the neighborhood the next day. He hasn't run away since, and doesn't chase "fraidy" neighbors anymore either.
