Halloween is almost upon Us ...
 

it's my favorite holiday, too! I am putting up decorations this weekend and hope to head to a few adult Halloween parties at the end of the month. no idea of costume yet.

:)

GAH!! Halloweeny already? :| Someone needs to slow this year down a bit!

I have to say I dont partake in Halloween or I havent for yrs and I mean like 30+ but since meeting the most beautiful woman in the world and knowing how much she loves the holiday also I have had to come to terms with Y I havent partaken in Halloween in so long. I dont think Im right or wrong or that she is either. I can see where not everyone uses the holiday as evil and knowing that I wont be doing that and neither will she.

I am hoping that I can find the excitement that she has for this time of the year, it may take a year or 2 but Im willing to do what I can to make her happy and to see that smile.

I told her I wanted to go as a lost salt shaker or a black eye P they are easy to do. She told me I couldnt do the mamogram machine

Halloween is a fabulous holiday. Since having The General it has changed from big adult parties to kids venue time. Still wonderful. I do struggle with "the little sugar addict" side of The General. And yes I am serious, she has issues. Breaks out and starts wigging out...

I digress...

This year I am thinking Dorthy. Sensible enough to wear to school. Totally sexifiable for some fun role play later. I have red shoes I love too. So I will be super sparkly.

Daddi could decide to be another Wizard of Oz character but I try not to hint too much. Oh wait... I think I just did.

The General will be a Monster High character.

We will go trick or treating and see a parade. Carving pumpkins will happen too. Which I just love to do. The part of NH we live in is odd in that you don't go out to a pumpkin patch and get a pumpkin. The farm folks remove them from the vine, clean them off and put them in an empty field for you to select. The General thinks this is just rude. I think it is redundant.

Teddys right! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Halloween!!! :) I have already started decorating and we went to get pumpkins last week...We are also planning on going to Salem for Halloween day :) I'd like to remind a certain un-named someone that Halloween started out as a celebration of the dead. It proceeds All Saint's Day which is Nov 1st. Halloween was originally all hallow's eve. A hallowed day. It was a day to remember the dead and give them blessings. And I'm sure remember them in your prayers to the saints the following day. It does have pagan roots but the pagans are peaceful earth loving people as anyone who has any knowledge of Wicca knows... In closing I'd like to present exhibit B...which is the fact that our local CATHOLIC church gives out candy for Halloween....nough said....

Okay for the record...

You are too funny Tucker!

The shoes are red patent leather. No heel. And well they aren't super sexy but they are fun. Not that Stoney needs the shoes to have a heel to be considered sexy.

I think the outfit can be easy altered by changing the length of the blue gingham dress and the tightness of the white blouse under it. And white lacy socks? come on... can't miss the innuendo there.

hey I did say I was coming to terms with it. I do know the origins of it but I also know that SOME ppl use this time to hmmm shall we say do unspeakable evil however baby I do know most ppl dont view it like that

Okay so tell me does Salem, MA have super spooky stuff going on for Halloween? Cause I think it would be a blast to drive that way for some fun.

i hear they d0

grinning so damn big !!! I have a very very good visual now of the shoes spritz. Oh and the innuendo did not get by Me in the least, yes def the white lacey socks.

I am glad I made you laugh. :)

A hearty thank you to all who are home on Halloween for passing out candy. We really appreciate it!

Leigh I wonder if you could be a zombie bride.... Marilyn Monroe was my back up choice.

Oh yessss a zombie bride - perfect choice would be The Corpse Bride ... or Annie (with Jack Skellington as your date) from Nightmare Before Christmas !!!

Good idea spritz !!!!

Spritzer, Salem at Halloween is AMAZING! They close down streets so you can walk around like a block party and many people dress up...There are museums and tours galore. Last year I took a cemetary tour that gave sooo much history information. There are also trolley tours and candlelight ghost tours. Nathanial Hawthorne's inspiration for The House of Seven Gables is there and can be toured...and one of my fave things to do there....is the soap/scent shop on central street. They have many scents of glycerin soap that you cant find anywhere else :) In short, there is SO much to do there...you honestly could stay a couple days! Not to mention....there are cute towns all around that are worth meandering for. Ipswich has a lovely winery if you enjoy wine (as I do!) Feel free to IM me if you want any more info! :)
