It's a Pumpkin/Apple Friday Five


brought to you by: http://revgalblogpals.blogspot.com

All Hallows Eve (Halloween) is near. As a child, Halloween was one of my favorite holidays. We didn’t yet worry about razor blades in apples or popcorn balls or some of the other concerns people have with Halloween these days. Halloween was a chance to be mildly scared, and better yet, to dress up and pretend to be something we really weren’t. Let’s talk about that a bit, but then let’s add in some food ideas for this year. Where I live the leaves are falling, the temperature is chilly and pumpkins are for sale everywhere, along with many kids of apples. What's more, the "Holiday Season" will soon be upon us. ACK! I could use a new idea for dessert. So, here we go…

1. How did you celebrate this time of year when you were a child? We lived in the country and didn't really celebrate Halloween. It's more fun with my son now.

2. Do you and/or your family “celebrate” Halloween? Why or why not? And if you do, has it changed from what you used to do? We do celebrate and each year my son gets more and more excited to dress up. This year he is buzz lightyear. Last year, mom and dad picked the costume and he was a lion.

2. Candy apples: Do you prefer red cinnamon or caramel covered? Or something else? Caramel if those are my choices. Not sure about the coating covered apples.

3. Pumpkins: Do you make Jack O’ Lanterns? Any ideas of what else to do with them? We carve the Jack O' Lanterns with the kiddos at daycare. Lots of fun.

4. Do you decorate your home for fall or Halloween? If so, what do you do? Bonus points for pictures. A little. Just the porch so the kiddos know we are open for treats.

5. Do you like pretending to be something different? Does a costume bring our an alternate personality? Not really...but I enjoy watching the kiddos.
