Halloween

Leo had his first halloween. He started the day off by carving the pumpkin he picked out from the pumpkin patch. In the earlier part of the day he wore his skeleton costume and lunched with his girlfriend, Amelia. That nigh he attended a Halloween party. The party was outside and we were able to people watch. One of the scariest costumes was the grim reaper. There were the usual witches, cowboys and one of his friends was Curious George. He was pretty exhausted and we went home early. We watched the Jack-o-lantern light up the backyard. (see photo) The following day we took the pumpkin seeds and roasted them. A special shout out and thank you to Kelli for the recipe.

Now, we can go on to concentrate on the election. Arizona had early voting and mail in ballots. Unfortunately, I did not find out the information until it was too late. I will go around 5:30 am on Tuesday to vote. The polls open up at 6:00 am but I dont want to risk waiting in line all day. According to friends, the wait for early voting was over 5 hours!! I am glad people are getting out to vote. It will be interesting to see what unfolds. At this time next week we will have a new president!
