Samhain Update
Ok, so I’m a bit late, but we had a great Samhain. I baked a few goodies (jalapino popper fingers…mmmm, banana bread and chocolate frosted brownies) and when my sis-in-law Crystal and our friend Kristine got here with their boys we all got dressed up and went out trick-or-treating. We had a ren/medieval theme going…with the exception of my youngest, who was Stitch from Lilo And Stitch. As soon as I get pics developed (yeah, I don’t have one of those nifty digital cameras yet), I’ll post them. It was cold, so two blocks pretty much did us in…and by that time the boys were ready to go home and divulge in their mass of candy.
Later on, after the gals and their kiddos left, I sat down to watch a couple scary movies. I found Halloween on tv, so watched the last half of it (with my 10 year old saying it’s not scary 
and me saying it’s a classic) and then turned off all the lights, hunkered down and put on Stephen King’s Storm Of The Century. I had forgotten how long that movie was…so about 4:30 in the morning I finally got to bed.
Since the 31st was pretty much the boys time, I lit a candle and incense and honored the gods, spirits, and ancestors the next evening.
