I am a bit of an October nut.  I hate the Halloween stuff... by this I mean, I hate the freaky, fake blood, jump out and scare you, decapitated heads hanging from trees in peoples lawns type stuff.  But the falling leaves, worms, bugs, bird feeders, soup, naked trees, pumpkin, nocturnal animals... well, that side of October, I can't get enough. 

In light of this, I had a bunch of October food things planned.  Baking pumpkin pie from scratch (meaning from a whole pumpkin.) is something we do every year... pumpkin muffins, squash with butter and brown sugar.  Yes... traditions run strong this time of year for me.  To throw a bit of fun in the mix, I have been adding in things like this sandwich. 

The kids spent all of lunch time talking about where the worms came from that showed up in their sandwiches.  They finally decided that they were martian worms from Mars, and these worms drank toliet water and ate puppies.  It always helps with the gross factor to have a teenage boy in the house.  lol...  Fun stuff.  :)
