Where has October gone?

There have been posts I've meant to write about and they've stayed in my head.  Like my favorite Halloween read aloud: Perfect Pumpkin Pie by Denys Cazet.  Everything about that book is great including the cover which makes kids beg you to read it to them.  I cannot carry a tune yet kids love to hear me chant the dead man's wails for pie over and over.  So much fun for October.

Today though is Halloween and I've made a delicious soup for a pre-trick-or-treating gathering.  And Groovy Girl is excited to trick-or-treat one more time. She doesn't know what year will be here last but it's soon.  The picture above is from last year.

I'm excited for my school's Halloween parade. Now that I know the students a little more it will be fun to watch them march around gleefully in their personality-infused costumes!

Happy Halloween!
