Halloween Preps

These guys returned again

Three pumpkins have been painted and placed on the front porch.

One pumpkin is waiting to be carved.  We just need the perfect jack-o-lantern face.

And Sunday night one pumpkin was sacrificed.  Its guts were removed and sorted.  And it was thrown in the oven for a while.  I think it made at least 12 cups of puree (I stopped counting after a while).  Tonight the seeds were roasted with butter, cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg, and brown sugar.  I am testing them with a bowl of coffee ice cream.  Big thumbs up!

There are many event scheduled in the coming days.  Festival at school, trick or treating at work, costume party, and neighborhood trick or treating.  There will be lots of costume changes - just like every weekend around here pretty much.
