Gates Night
Gates Night has come to a close and all is calm and well. After all these years I still hold my breath until the midnight hour passes. I guess the trainings of our youth are hard to break.
The quarantine has not prevented the seasonal merriment within the house. Yesterday was home made bread, cinnamon raisin loaf and flaky delicious apple pie. All of which was topped off with a delightful treat of a Home Made Root Veggie Pie by Madeileen. It was delicious but not an every day venture, I hear. Much like a fabulous chicken pot pie but … ummm.. missing the chicken

Today was more prep for tomorrow. Alien cupcakes and pumpkin carving (really not The Baby’s gig this year) and rounding out the afternoon with a pizza supper. Afterwards the Unleashed made us his dessert/suprise. Worms in dirt. We watched Young Frankenstein as a family movie and everyone TRIED to tuck into bed early in spite of the high energies for tomorrow.
Halloween… so very much like Christmas enthusiasm in our house. Makes me want to fire up the hearth and hang blackened and deformed stockings .
