Well, I was going to make Jonah's Halloween costume from scratch, but I was browsing on
Craigslist one day, and found the exact costume for sale. I debated with myself for maybe two seconds before realizing that buying this thing would save me a ton of stress and time. I still have to make my costume (I am going to be Tinkerbell) and maybe come up with a panda costume for Peter. (He was going to be a pirate again this year to make it easy, but the kids are insistent that he be a panda this year.) Anyway, I went and picked up the skeleton costume, and Jonah wanted to wear it right away, of course. I know he doesn't look very scary here, but
don't worry, he'll look totally freaky for Halloween.
And in other good news, I finally finished my pears this week. I made one box of these
beauties into pear sauce, which Peter loves, and one box I just bottled pear halves with cinnamon. Let me tell you, pears are a pain in the rear. Hopefully by next fall I won't remember how much work this was so I will want to can them again.
I am taking a break from canning for three weeks, then it's peach pie filling and jam. At the end of October I'll get three boxes of apples for applesauce and pie filling. That will not be a fun day, but my kids eat applesauce like crazy, so it will be good to
have on hand.
Yeah for Fall!
