This is a poem written by Jack Prelutsky that was in a children’s book that was a favorite of my kids.
It’s Halloween
It’s Halloween! It’s Halloween!
The moon is full and bright
And we shall see what can’t be seen
On any other night.
Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
Grinning goblins fighting duels,
Werewolves rising from their tombs,
Witches on their magic brooms.
In masks and gowns
We haunt the street
And knock on doors
For trick or treat.
Tonight we are
The king and queen,
For oh tonight
It’s Halloween!
Happy Halloween to all my fellow blogging friends!
I love Jack Prelutsky! Fun poem. Now, to help my son get his pumpkin carved (I procrastinate a bit–can you tell?)

Well at least you bought a pumpkin. My house will be a sorry sight tonight with a few little ceramic pumpkin candle holders for decorations 😦 Good news in that it is supposed to rain and we need it. Might not be fun for the kids though.

It did rain here a little, and the candle inside my son’s carved pumpkin went out. (I forgot to buy candles for putting inside his pumpkin–my husband used a citronella candle from the porch!) Then, we woke up to snow–unheard of, on November 1, in our part of the U.S.

Wow, snow. The rain held off here pretty much except for a few sprinkles until I went to bed. Then it rained all night. My husband said it snowed in the mountains. It was really wonderful to have the rain again. I had to run to the store to get those tea candles because I did not have any small enough. I had my small terracotta candle holders inside.
