Happy Halloween!

For school today, we read to each other some of our favorite fall and Halloween stories.

Pumpkin, Pumpkin by Jeanine Titherington

Too Many Pumpkins by Linda White

The Beast Who Couldn't Say Boo by Amanda Agee

And a chapter from Richard Peck's A Year Down Yonder, that tells the story of Halloween with Grandma Dowdel.

We also made cupcakes (devil's food, of course) with sprinkles.



Tonight, I'm hoping for a chance to watch Arsenic and Old Lace with my older daughter.

Any special plans at your place?

New in the Etsy Shop

This cute little basket is new in the Bede Sisters' etsy shop for Halloween. It's sized just right for holding Halloween candy, either next to your door or while out trick-or-treating.

These adorable little baskets were created for a special custom order, as party favors. They are about 4.5 in high, not including the handle.

I'm thinking of adding them as a custom order option in the shop. Can't you see them as favors, not just for birthdays, but also for weddings, anniversaries and graduation parties?
