All Hallow's Eve













After a feast at a friend's house, I'd say it was a very successful, and pumpkin-filled Halloween for me. Last night, Molly carved a pumpkin, from which we extracted it's gooey gobliny guts for seed-purposes. Today I made 4 dozen pumpkin cookies (some with craisins, most without), and tomorrow I will season and bake those yummy little seeds!

No, this isn't my Halloween costume, but my MIL did want me to be Sarah Palin so she could "get a picture with her;" I was happy to oblige. Alaska sure misses Mark's family; especially the little Alaskan in my arms.
In the last week, Mont has:
-gotten SO good at holding his head up.
Barely a bobble topper these days.
-found his fists; tries to shove his whole hand in his mouth.
-saw himself in the mirror
-loved being held!
-talked a whole lot! (soft little owl-noises)

i'm sorry your seeds got burnt. what temperature did you have the oven at? i usually bake mine at like 225 or something insanely low like that. for like 90 minutes. mmm. i love pumpkin seeds!

oh and you calling mont an "alaskan" totally reminds me of these awesome sweatshirts my SIL michelle has for herself and the kids that say Alaksa-Grown on them. i think there is a recent picture of kali wearing one on her blog. anyway...i know mont won't be wearing a sweatshirt anytime soon but maybe they have onesies????
