Thursday morning began with festive cheese grits:

Then, we went to the homeschool group's Halloween party at the park.







Blaze and I set up a booth for "Freeze Dance" to Halloween songs.





Friday, Blaze and I went to Cascades Park for Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra's Halloween Symphony Spooktacular Family Concert.

Tonight's festive food is octopus-shaped sausage rolls.
