Saturday, after a quick trip to the Alemany Farmers' Market with Doro to get some pumpkins, I spent the day at the household of my little boo, Freeman J. George. While Freeman was napping and his daddy and I watched Game 3 of the World Series, I baked this:
quick way to get you in the Halloween spirit
And then as soon as my buddy woke up, we carved pumpkins!
well, I carved. Freeman colored and covered his pumpkin in stickers.
Our results?
Boo Dat!
I had to combine my football spirit and Halloween spirit, cause my Saints played my bestie's Steelers Halloween night! My amateur fleur de lis ain't bad, huh?
I'm slightly ashamed to say that I didn't dress up this year, but it's only cause Halloween day was full of sports, and I couldn't justify the time and effort on a costume just to stay on my couch and watch the World Series and the NFL.

And what makes it even better? It's based on a true story. Yikes.
Tell me about your Halloween!!
