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.

Can you even stand how cute those kids are?

It's nice to look back on so many fun memories, isn't it?

You know, this has been our tradition exactly (including the pumpkin seeds)...every FHE right before Halloween. It's so fun. I have to go and get the pumpkins today. My kids are so excited.
