All Hallows Eve Eve

When the kids were little - and even ten, eleven - it was easy to get that Halloween buzz, because they were just so into it; I mean, how could you not?

But this year, my oldest is seven hundred miles away, and my youngest is fifteen, so yes, it took a bit of effort to drag home the two large pumpkins (only ones left at our Safeway), cut 'em open, scrape 'em out, and carve (or in the case of Jackie's and Teri's, drill 'em out).

But I'm glad we did it. She's still into it, though she may act a little cool about it sometimes. Believe me, I want to avail myself of every trick in the proverbial book to slow time down and treasure every second.
