It's That Time of the Year Again

Approaching Hallowe'en!  Sean got started on our pumpkin carving, with his new respite worker.  They did a 2-sided pumpkin, one carved, one with dollar store decorations.  Evie was most interested in these, and I'm not sure how many decorations remained on the pumpkin before I got it outside!

 

And the other Hallowe'en items have been brought out by Sean.  Note the fake pumpkins, and the screaming coffin.  This is what he gets chasing Evie with around the house.  When he's at school, she tries to hide it.  She also has an aversion to Hallowe'en masks, even if they are just harmless, lying on the ground and not attached to anyone.  "Mask!  Mask!  Dat scare me!", and Mummy has to remove it.

Not sure what we're doing for Hallowe'en costumes just yet; paying $25 for a toddler costume just goes against my principles.  But if I find the right outfit for Sean, ie one that he will happily wear, he may be motivated to come out with us.  As with other events, he is not always wanting to participate.

Keep you posted.
