Hallowe'en

[przed]

Ros and I worked together on our jack o' lantern this year. She worked on a design, I transferred it to the pumpkin and she did most of the carving. It worked out pretty well.



Tonight it was a cold and rainy night, but that didn't stop Ros and her friends from trick or treating. Ros wanted to be a cowgirl, so we put together bits and bobs from Value Village. The vest was adult-sized, but we had it altered down to fit, and there were no cowboy hats her size, so we settled for a kids version of the Indiana Jones hat. She was insistent that she wasn't going to wear a bandana, in spite of the fact that it looked pretty adorable on her. (I couldn't get a picture with the bandana.)



We went out with one of her friends, the friend's cousin and the cousin's three-year-old sister. Ros was in her element helping the three-year-old up and down the steps of the houses in our neighbourhood. (She loves helping younger kids. She's dying to be old enough to start babysitting.)

Lovely costume *g* I was deeply fond of my cowboy outfit when I was small (my three favourite dressing up outfits were: cowboy, pirate and princess)

We don't do much for Halloween but we've been eating a lot of pumpkin recently as they're in the shops - it's actually really tasty! But apparently only 5% of pumpkins in the UK are ever eaten as opposed to used for decoration.

Cowboy outfits are awesome. *g* As is pumpkin. We picked up a bunch of pie pumpkins in my home town a few weeks ago, and the Sweetie roasted and froze them so we've got pumpkin for pies and soup. I looooove cooking with pumpkin.
