Four Days to Halloween!
Memorable Monday Moments
Halloween Activity: Carving Pumpkins
Every Monday before Halloween, our family night is spent carving jack-o-lanterns. That means Dad gets involved in the process! It can be quite messy, but isn't that part of the fun?
Halloween Treat: Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
This is also part of the tradition - eating roasted pumpkin seeds for the rest of the week (except for the years when I burn them or otherwise make them unedible). To make them, toss 1 1/2 cups seeds with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Season to taste with garlic powder, cayenne pepper and seasoning salt. Then spread on cookie sheet and bake at 300° for 30 to 45 minutes.
