Which witch is which?

Oh the strangest things are seen, ghosts and witches and jack-o-lanterns. Can you tell me what they mean? LOOK OUT - it's Halloween!
My mother used to play this little song on our family piano and sing these words to my brother and me. Every year, as we get closer to All Hallow's Eve, I find myself singing this little song excitedly as I decorate our home or work on Halloween costumes, sweets or treats. I think my full embrace of this October holiday helps make LA feel just a little bit more East Coast...if I conjure up enough winds, bare branches, autumn leaves and "spirits", I can conjure up real weather, a true fall. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love this Halloween and how much time and effort I put into celebrating it....still, I never could have imagined just how much I look forward to sharing it with Langston and introducing him to the joys of a spooktacular October 31.

It was only fitting therefore, that we conjure up several "Baby's 1st Halloween" outfits for Langston. (Don't worry, he also has several costumes for the month, too. Oh, there WILL be costumes!) This one says "Guess whoooooooo's 1st Halloween?" We accompanied his ensemble with my witch hat and cape and he seemed appropriately shocked by the whole thing...almost like he's truly thinking, "LOOK-OUT! It's Halloween!!" (And no, we didn't scare him - he just got spooked (smile!) by the flash.)

When I saw the invitation I cracked up, because you got lucky that his flash face is often so "spooked" looking!!

Love it
