Dreaming of France -- Halloween

Thank you for joining this weekly meme. Grab a copy of the photo above and link back to An Accidental Blog. Share with the rest of us your passion for France. Did you read a good book set in France? See a movie? Take a photo in France? Have an adventure? Eat a fabulous meal or even just a pastry? Or if you're in France now, go ahead and lord it over the rest of us. We can take it.

It's a funny post this week, because I'm focused on something that happened here in Ohio rather than something in France.
But it's making me think of France because my husband and I plan to move to France next fall, and then we won't be in the same city with our children. It may be our last Halloween living close to each other.
So my husband, who is quite artistic, agreed to carve a pumpkin for each of the kids.
We delivered Spencer's to him on Friday when we drove to Ohio University to visit him for his birthday.

Tonight, we visited the other kids' apartments and left a lit jack o'lantern glowing on by their doors, along with a small bag of candy.

Here's our black cat posing with the pumpkins before we took them. 

The porch on Tucker's apartment was pretty dark. 

This is the same pumpkin at Grace's apartment -- like the famous drama mask, one side shows comedy while the other shows tragedy.

I'm not sure how we'll celebrate  Halloween next year when we're in France, but I suspect it won't be the same.

Thanks so much for playing along with Dreaming of France today. Please leave your name and blog address in Mr. Linky below, and leave a comment letting me know what  you think about my love affair with France, or your own passion for the country and its people and cultures. Also consider visiting the blogs of others who play along so we can all share the love.
