Halloween shenanigans

Halloween shennanigans, originally uploaded by Stephane and Stephanie.
Halloween is always one of my favourite days of the year, even if my plans never exactly work out. This year husband & I were supposed to go out dressed as one of the finest television couples out there, Al & Peg Bundy. Last minute, Georgie boy found out that he had to work. I ended up staying home and watching more episodes of Mad Men while eating homemade pea soup. Glamorous!

However, we still made the most of it on Halloween by dressing up and handing out candies to the beyond cute kiddies. I felt rather old as it seemed that none of the other houses were participating in the fun night (Either all their children had grown up or they were Scrooges...I'm guessing they were Scrooges!) I remember as a kid I was amazed at how all the houses were decorated, a wee scared that someone was going to pop out at me (I was and am such a scardycat) and how all us kids thought that the houses with lights off meant there were mean old humbugs inside that didn't know how to have a good time. All the children that came by were rather sweet, minus one boy who tried to grab a handful of candy. I always let them choose their favourite (Who remembers being a kid and being given a chocolate you didn't want, when one you truly loved was just staring at you from inside the bowl...please say it wasn't just me!), but taking advantage of my kindness, if you will, just wasn't cool. However, there was only "bad one" of the bunch, and the rest were wee and super sweet, so all is lovely.

A highlight of last night may be when we were carving our pumpkin, I heard kiddies pass by our house so I ran out and said "Kiddies! There's candy over here!" I felt bad because we were the only house on our side of the street giving treats out, I didn't want them to miss out....but as soon as I closed the door George informed me of how creepy what I said was. I'm surprised their parent's let them come to my house. I'm such a creep.

After giving out chocolate and candy we made our way upstairs and watched half of Suspiria (Granny and gramps were pooped by this point). We love that film - great music, amazing directing & "stellar" acting!

Candy bracelets (I kind of sort of bought them because I wanted them...) and Prom Pose (Anyone else wish they could redo their prom?)

What did everyone else do for Halloween? I'd love to see your costume if you wore one! :)

Happy Halloween little ghouls and goblins,
