Ah
yes! All Hallow’s Eve, Oiche Shamhna, Samhain, Hallowe'en,
All-hallow-tide, Hallowmas, Alhallow ene, Hollantide…. Give-me-da-candy
Day! Whatever you call it, it’s gonna be
good! It has always been one of my
favorite holidays and I think it is ranking pretty high on Sass’s list these days. He woke Hubbs and I up with a
cheery 6 a.m. “Happy Halloween MomnDad!
It’s Halloween Day!” Sho’ nough
is little dude. Time to cram you full of
sugar till you twitch and pass out. No
puking, though. Ug.
Know your limit, little dude.
All Hail Halloween! The one night of the year kids can run around overindulging like pledges at a Frat party (But no worries, bud. I won’t sharpie a penis on your face while you lay passed out in your bed... Maybe.) I love the cold weather and costumes (and the fact that most of my “inappropriate costume” days were pre-Facebook. Did you know you can make a Ladybug slutty? Heh.) and I love the fact that I will get to skim off Sass's haul after he collapses in bed. (Sprinkles will be remaining behind with Grandma, a princess in waiting, to"help" to hand out candy.) I love the excitement and enthusiasm. I love the freedom and imagination. I can't wait to watch Sass stumble up a neighbors steps and yell “Trick or Treat”! (Okay, hon, now what do you say?) This will be a good night full of shrieks and giggles and noses running from the cold. I. Can't. Wait.
What are your little ones dressing up as? Any cool “Halloween Day” traditions you'd be willing to share? Tell me, tell me! I would really like to know.
I never understood why they can't just do Halloween ON Halloween! They always do Trick or Treating a night or two before. Therefore it's kind of a letdown. Oh well. My kiddos are Iron Man and a black kitty this year, hypnotizing people with their cuteness (until Iron Man uses his sleeve for a kleenex).
ReplyDeleteWe try to make something spooky for supper on the night of Trick or Treating. This year we made spooky grilled cheese-I used a ghost shaped cookie cutter on the bread and cheese and then cooked the sandwiches. Turned out pretty cute! Other years we've made Jack-O-Lantern pizzas (different toppings to make a face). This year we get to go shopping for a car battery on Halloween. Isn't that exciting? If we have time, we'll watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"!
I saw the awesome ghostly grilled cheeses! I love it! We are just doing Little Caesars... scary in it's own right.
DeleteI fully expect Sass's sleeve to be stiff with snot by the end of the evening... You children are AH-DorABLE!
Mine are being Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Lion. I will wear a homemade Dorothy costume for the early festivities and then dress warm for the real trick or treating. Poor kids don't get to dress warm so it's probably a good thing that they apparently can't feel the cold.
ReplyDeleteTooo cute! I need pictures. Yeah, Sass wants to be a Robot. He'll be a frozen little Robot by the end of the night....
DeleteThere are many times I am glad FB wasn't around when I was a teenager- or heck even when I was in college. Though some of the costumes are just plain wrong.
ReplyDeleteMy kids are a Knight, a princess and a dragon- it is cute :)
I can't wait for the pictures! Yeah, just saw a pic of my future cousin-in-law (male) in full ballerina get-up as "The Black Swan" on FB. He. IS. AWESOME! (Still glad none of mine ended up on there for posterity, though.)
DeleteFollowing/commeting from the Mommy brain mixer! I hope you'll come and do the same :)
