Halloween

Today is Halloween. All the little, and not so little children in my life are preparing for a great night of candy collection. There's a Waldo&Wanda, Thomas the Tank, Batman, Fireman and Spider heading out tonight that I know of with plans to stuff their pillowcases full!

My Family never really was a big celebrator of Halloween. Costumes were thrown together last minute, my parents rarely handed out candy, and some years we skipped it all together. I remember being a cow, little bow beep, little red riding hood, and a gypsy as a child. I think once my parents even made me a monk. They're weird, I know. Those costumes were probably repeated various times in the next couple of years by myself and my siblings.

This year I'm living away from home and I have no plans for the big night. In fact, I think tonight will be the perfect opportunity to get some shopping in.

However, earlier this week I did do some Halloween related activities. My good friend from college MG wanted to decorate her Condo for the occasion and we hit up the local Dollarama where she bought a cart full of decorations. We also spent an afternoon baking cupcakes tastefully decorated for the holiday and shared them with our friends and family.

And that's as much Halloween celebrating that I do.
