Oddly quiet night here. Big change from last year when everyone seemed to be going all-out because they finally felt like they could.

Pokemon Pumpkin Parade
We went with a Pokemon theme again for this year’s Jack-O’Lanterns. Katie did the Vulpix and the Squirtle, while J. started the Chandelure, I continued it, and Katie finished it.
Having found a carvable teal artificial pumpkin, and decided on Pokemon, Squirtle seemed the perfect choice!
Edited to add: Believe it or not, that’s not daylight, it’s the streetlight. They recently put in new white LED lighting in the neighborhood.

Patterns found online and carved by the mom-and-son team.
Ant-Man Approves of this Jack O’Lantern
The kiddo managed to get another Halloween out of last year’s homemade Minecraft Spider Jockey costume. But it’s not easy to run around and play in, so we offered to buy him an alternate for parties, and he chose Ant-Man. Curiously, the costume didn’t come with gloves, so Katie took a pair of plain black gloves and attached controls to them.
It’s a good thing we had it, though, because the straps on the spider started digging into his shoulders a couple of blocks into trick-or-treating and he wanted to come home early. (But not before running into a Steve? in diamond armor!)
Cue the alternate costume!
Oh, and check out this year’s pumpkin carving as well! Hardly anyone saw it, because all the trick-or-treating action seemed to be a block away, and no one walked up to our door until 9:00.
Ant-Man’s helmet is carved on a real pumpkin. The goofy face on the right is a plastic one from a few years back.
All Pumpkin, all the Time
Now you can have pumpkin spice milk on your pumpkin cereal!
Also interesting: “almond beverage” rather than “almond milk.”
