Halloween 2013

Yes, I know I haven't posted an event since last Halloween.  Someday, I will remedy that.  For now, enjoy Halloween 2013.  No crazy weather interruptions this year, but significant workload and an imminent, epic vacation forced me to scale back the effort ever so slightly.  Hopefully, this isn't noticeable to you readers.  Besides the personal satisfaction of creating these, I also appreciate the compliments from the neighbors.  This year, the number of people photographing and complimenting the pumpkins was high but not unusually so (we really do live in a great neighborhood with friendly people).  What was noticeably different was how many of the  children (using that term loosely for the trick-or-treaters) mentioned them, too.

Evan, the construction worker, is currently still fine with visiting only a handful of neighbors that we know, so his candy intake is extremely limited.  Some of it even disappears or gets exchanged by the Great Pumpkin.  It also takes only 15 minutes for him to return, then he helps hand out candy.  He's stingy...only gives one piece to each child.
