Halloween 31 October 2011
Always wanted to know where Halloween originated from or means? I googled it, and thanks to Wikipedia this is what I found:
"Halloween (a contraction of
All Hallows’ Evening), also known by
Hallowe’en or
All Hallow's Eve, is an annual holiday observed around the world on October 31, the night preceding All Saints Day. Typical Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, attending costime parties, carving jack-o-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, watching horror films, as well as praying and attending vigils or church services."
We chose the typical activity of trick or treating! Jaime chose his monkey outfit (with a bit of influence from mom, come on the monkey suit is padded ie warm! its cold out there), anyway let me show you:
 |
| All ready to go.. |
 |
| And we off...bagel in one hand and treat bag in the other |
 |
| Walking in amongst the other kids... interesting costimes. We saw swamp monsters, angels, harry potter, ghosts, dragons (Robby), Snow White (Laura), a kid as a table and settings, kid in an army tank, crayola box, hot dog stands with the pet dogs dressed as the hot dogs ah and many more. |
This is how it ran... literally
 |
| Robby and Jaime chasing each other |
 |
| Getting treats |
 |
| Then running wildly to the next house |
At the beginning Jaime started off pretty shy and "scared" but he ended off the evening shoving the other kids, asking "can I have 2 please" with a show of 2 fingers and then saying "are those chocolate ones", "Thanks" ....
 |
| Walking in the parade, the boys in their chariot with Snow White as the driver. |
 |
| Cheese...ie I got sooo mannnyy sweeettiiesss! |
After about an hour of walking,
 |
| Monkey and Monkey man were done |
Halloween trick or treating - what fun!
oh walking to the car Jaime suddenly went quiet...
 |
| Jaime what you doing??? |
 |
| Checking my messages of course! |
Now that was fun - to next year...
BOO!
