All Hallows' Eve, 2013


We are dehydrating oranges as part of our holiday gifts this year. Thank you, Pat Hanson, for the endless supply of citrus!

The dehydrator at work... 


And some lemons, too

I love this family shot. A slouching (Zeal) surprised (Mama) chipmunk (Papa) looks skyward (Avery)

We picked the biggest pumpkin!

Avery was teaching us the carving procedure he learned at school that day.

"I want mad face [on my pumpkin]" says Avery

Farmer Lauren and a pumpkin

There was no overarching family costume theme this year, but Papa's pirate went along well with the mermaid. 

And I suppose chickens and pumpkins can be seen together.

William was a pumpkin head!

Avery was brave. He approached many doors on his own. And then he told each resident about his deceased dog. "Luna died last night," was always met with a lot of sympathy. Truth is, she died last summer.

We LOVE the merboy and would have loved to know what his deep imaginings were about swimming in the sea with or without underwear. And, Luna, what a perfect time to remember her! We miss her dearly but that trick-or-treating tactic had us all laughing.
