Growing popularity

Over the past two years I have noticed a huge increase in the popularity of Halloween.  When we moved here, seeing Halloween decorations were few and far between.  These days I'm seeing lots of special packaging at the store, orange pumpkins at several flower shops, and even thematic baked goods at the bakery.

My son has been very eager to try all the fun treats he has found at various bakeries around town.

He is over the moon to eat these for breakfast (along with yogurt and fruit to balance things out just a bit).  I doubt there is anyone more enthusiastic about cute pastries attempting to be scary.
