When I showed up at Earthling Books, I bought six of his novels to get signed. Most of them, I'd already checked out at the library and read, but now I was going to own autographed copies!
The one I was most excited to see Mr. Bradbury sign his name in, and the one I still need to pull off the shelf every October, was The Halloween Tree. The first several chapters in that novel are Halloween.

Like most holidays, Halloween hasn't felt nearly as magical as an adult as it did when I was a child.
But this year, I'm seeing the excitement and mystery through my son's eyes!
Isaiah's Uncle Nate & Aunt Sarah came over on Halloween Eve to carve pumpkins. Isaiah chose his pumpkin, JoanMarie drew a face on it to resemble his smile, then Isaiah helped clean it out.
I did the cutting, added the candle, then we lined up the jack-o-lanterns on our porch.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

This is so cute!! I feel like Halloween isn't that much fun for me anymore, now that I'm older and can't go door to door begging for candy, dressed like a cat or a princess or something. *sigh* To be young again.
Looks like he really enjoyed carving the pumpkin! very cool. I know what you mean about the magic coming back! it's very exciting :D
