I had to look into this whole Halloween thing... I don't quite get why
we carve up an orange squash-like item and set it on fire. Or why we teach
our kids not to take candy from strangers, yet, one day a year, it's okay
to do just that -- while running across the street, in the dark, wearing
a variety of (occasionally) dark clothing. But I just ran with the idea.
Except across the street. But who are we kidding; I made Tubby pull me
around in a wagon that complimented my outfit. (I selected my costume
in tribute of King Tutankhamun -- Tut, to most -- of the 18th Dynasty
of Egypt, circa 1345-1327 B.C. king between 1336-1327 B.C.)
Step 1: Find pumpkin, and get a knife; remove the skull cap.
Step 2: Scrape out the pumpkin guts. Use a spoon for this.
Step 3: Again with the knife, cut out a face and stuff.
Step 4: Place on porch, put a burning candle inside.
Voila!
Once done, it was time to dress up as a mummy -- King Dut.
My fav house while moving about -- it looked like it was on fire.
My trick-or-tread-mobile... my pyramid lights up and
everything!
Look at this haul! (Okay, I did get some candy from
the kids' bags.).
