Hallowe'en Dreaming

Today we spent a farewell afternoon and dinner with our daughter, son-in-law and two grandboys!

Weather has changed our departure plans and we are now set to leave Calgary on Oct 31 so we can avoid snow and below-freezing weather in the Alberta forecast for Nov 1, 2 and beyond.

Four year old Zach made drawings for the three jack-o-lanterns and gave them each a name. The red marks are the candles.

 

 

Pattern transferred to the pumpkins

 

 

We watched as each parent spent some time carving the faces; Zach was told to stay back from the sharp knife! 5 month old Magnus joined the party too. 

  

Before bedtime, we had a look at Zach's Mario Brothers costume, complete with a bushy moustache! After goodnight/goodbye hugs all around we are mindful that those would be the last until March when they expect to be in Phoenix for school break. It will be Face time until then....
