^Cool and a creative way to have a carving experience made easier. I'd enjoy seeing a picture if you want to share and same to everyone else if you carve or decorate a pumpkin.

Butterfingers are okay. I just don't like how they get stuck your teeth. I always did love almond joy and almond mound though I probably slightly prefer almond mound. If I had to purchase a bag of candy for Halloween, it would be Hershey Hugs.

I got my pumpkins today. I only wanted one, but wound up with two. It's hard picking a pretty pumpkin! I spent a good chunk of the afternoon carving one (a cat face, but I used the eye cut outs for ears so it looks like little Shrek ears). Now I have the seeds drying overnight. I have to save the other pumpkin for another day because that was too much work.

We won't do our jack-o-lantern until Halloween itself, because that is also the last Friday of the farmers' market in town! But I bought some smaller pumpkins yesterday to cook.

I did my seeds tonight. They're good, but I already have that urge out of my system. Lol. There were a lot of seeds in a not that large pumpkin.

^Do you eat the seeds? Do they taste good?

^Yes, I roasted them in the oven. I think they're good but not something I would want as an every day thing.

This isn't directly Halloween itself related just the season. I don't eat at Wendy's but do enjoy their Frosty's. I found out yesterday that Wendy's is selling for $1 (proceeds go to Dave Thomas adoption foundation) a coupon book for 5 free junior Frosty's. There is no purchase required to use the coupon. Cool deal to be able to donate and enjoy a free treat. The coupons are valid from November 1st-Feburary 1st of next year.

Usually those are sold for trick-or-treat.

Last night I ordered some special effect contact lenses to wear on Halloween. They're expensive for something I'm going to wear for only one night, but I've always want to try them, so I'm excited!

^Cool! I've worn contacts since 1992, so I really should try special effect contact lenses sometime.
I love Halloween, because, like Claudia, I love junk food, costumes, and mysteries. Usually my best friend and my husband and I go on a Halloween pub crawl, but I don't think that's being organized this year. The best part is the bus that takes everyone from bar to bar -- people decorate it with rubber skeletons and cobwebs and police tape and everyone sings silly (and profane) summer camp songs. I don't know what I'm going to do or what I'm going to dress up as this year. The year before last year I had a costume ready way in advance because we went to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Disney World in September so Mr. Frog and I already had our costumes then.

My jack o' lanerns are already moldy. And squirrels have been chewing on the face of one. Toy Story of Terror was on last week. I think they're doing a new Christmas special this year.

I got my costume, for the Halloween Bash at my work. I'm going be Sock Hop Sweetie. (Like in Grease.)
