I've always believed in allowing children to choose whether to participate in religious observances or not. Last Samhain we spent the day with
The Circle of the Blue Moon. Sierra had a good time playing with the children, doing little games and activities, and sitting around the fire. Every year we also make it our personal project to carve a pumpkin (Or two, or three). This year she has her pumpkin, and we'll carve it a few days before the 31st.
A few years ago I was on a "Learn to cook" kick. When I have time I try to expand my cooking knowledge. That year I learned how to cook a pumpkin pie from scratch, DD helped of course. I didn't even use the can pumpkin puree. Who knew those small pumpkins were for more than just display? *giggle*

It came out great. At least I was told it was great. I actually hate the taste of pumpkin pie. But Sierra and DH didn't leave any extra so I suppose that's the best compliment a cook can get.
:-D
