There are a few places around here that have a "pumpkin smash" the evening after Halloween but I am not sure exactly what's involved and it didn't really seem like a little kids events.<br />Glad to hear the Ppie liked the parade this year. I was down for a visit with you last year and I remember her just looking so lost and little.<br />Miss you!pippasmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07386184818117314750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637299678197896762.post-45622084128681820022011-11-04T22:16:20.072-07:002011-11-04T22:16:20.072-07:00Our neighbourhood is HUGE on Hallowe'en, so it...Our neighbourhood is HUGE on Hallowe'en, so it really is fun to see the really inventive costumes and meet lots of kids of all ages and their parents. The Bun was SO excited about it this year, and Ppie always goes out with her friend from across the street. This year she even seemed to enjoy the school parade, which was a really nice change to see in her. Kid's growing up! <br /><br />Ppie wanted to decorate our house this year, so we went beyond pumpkins for the first time. I am not into all the gory, nasty stuff, and just went for atmospheric creppy stuff like spiderwebs, a few rubber rats, and a crow. <br /><br />One new thing that was kind of fun was the "pumpkin walk" in the oark the next night. All the families bring their pumpkins down and line the paths with them and light them up so everyone can enjoy them. I think the parks people then gather them and take them to add to their composting, which is a great way to enjoy them one more time, a nice community night out, and a good end to the whole thing. We'll do that one again next year!kittenpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215443551546036909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637299678197896762.post-64760013001013240522011-11-01T18:48:25.447-07:002011-11-01T18:48:25.447-07:00We approach Halloween much the same as you.
