Rocktoberfest 2008!

I've neglected to tell you, my loyal readers, that we've been very Fall (as in the season) focused. Check out this list.

1. walked through park to see leaves changing
2. drank homemade cider at someone's party
3. made offerings to the harvest gods
4. cooked several squash-centered meals
5. made caramel apples
   

We also went almost-all-out for Halloween.

1. carved jack-o-lanterns
   
2. baked pumpkin seeds & ate them
3. dressed up for the trick-or-treaters
4. decorated the yard for same trick-or-treaters (including a realistically molded plastic human skull, robber spiders & snakes, fake tombstones & real candles, giant fake spider, black light on porch, spooky noises/music cd playing
5. scared the shit out of a number of trick-or-treaters (including making at least 2 cry)
6. attended a Halloween party dressed in costume
7. walked to said party in costume & in character (zombies, 'natch)
