I like observing the differences in my twins. It's obvious by this illustration how opposite they are in so many ways... A week after Halloween, Jonah's candy bucket REMAINED practically untouched, while Micah's candy bucket only had REMAINS of what once filled it!!!
After Halloween was over, the pumpkin patch still had approximately 100 REMAINING pumpkins of the 500 that we started with. With the leftovers this year, we donated several to a community Halloween event and to the school, and I made pumpkin puree out of a handful. Then we loaded up the truck with some of the REMAINING pumpkins and headed to the dump.
When we arrived at the county landfill, we all cheered Josh on as he threw the pumpkins out of the truck one-by-one and they each smashed into pieces. It was amusing for all of us, and we laughed and applauded Josh until all the pumpkins were out of the truck, and all that was left were pumpkin REMAINS on the ground.
Then we loaded up the truck once more and took the REMAINDER of the pumpkins down the road to our neighbors' pigs. We each unloaded them, throwing them into the pigpen. 
And we liked watching the pigs as they ate the REMAINS of the smashed pumpkins! 
Halloween REMAINS to be one of my favorite holidays, but it was good to finally clear out the pumpkin patch in November, and have the last REMNANTS of the October holiday disappear (including the candy--which for Jonah, lasted until December!)!!
