Lionden Landing

For ages I have been collecting ideas for how Froggy and I can make natural invitations to play.  Today we finally acted on one of those ideas.  We took one of the gourds from our still life painting and turned it into an amazing Jack O'Lantern.  Kitchen Counter Chronicles supplied the idea and instructions.  Froggy supplied the creativity and labor.  I think it turned out awesome.  And as a bonus, we roasted the seeds and had a yummy snack.

Happy Halloween We do not read many specifically Halloween books around here. What with all the Autumn books, the High Holidays, Sukkot and two October birthdays, it is just hard to fit many in. Still we always find time for a good Fairy story. All Hallows Eve: The Story of The Halloween Fairy is a nice story that does not focus on costumes or gluttony. Many parents use it as an introduction to trading the Halloween candy away for something else. We have not broached that idea yet but may in the future. We just read it because it is fun. So those are my Halloween Friday's Finds. What are yours? Please encourage your readers to share their reviews as well by linking back to this site.
