[blparent] Halloween

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Tomorrow night, Dad will carve a pumpkin with Stephen and Sarah.  I think 
they'll be carving a Dora the Explorer pumpkin this year, by Sarah's choice. 
Speaking of pumpkin carving, in case someone didn't know, lightly smearing 
petroleum jelly on the cut places will significantly extend the life of your 
pumpkins.  Does anybody have a good recipe for roasting the seeds?  I'd like 
to try that this year.

Everybody gets to dress up at our church for Halloween this year.  Sarah's 
going to be a white tiger cub.  I found the most adorable costume on 
clearance for her.  I wasn't going to dress up, but one of the kids at 
church talked me into it.  Her dad has a cow costume that will probably fit 
me, so guess who's going as a cow?  Just peachy, right?  But it's for the 
kids, so what the heck!  Moo!

On Monday morning, Sarah's Nanna and I will be going with her to a fall 
festival at her preschool.  Nanna's coming along to take pictures.

Monday evening, a family friend is going to take Sarah trick-or-treating, 
and her dad might take her some as well, depending on how cold it is, 
because he doesn't get off work till seven o'clock.  I don't feel 
comfortable taking Sarah by myself because I don't know which houses have 
lights on and which don't.  Besides, I guess I'll stay home and pass out 
candy.  I don't feel too comfortable opening the door to strangers, either, 
but again, what the heck, it's for the kids.

So we've got a busy schedule this year.  It's fun because Sarah's old enough 
to really enjoy it.

compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist
