It wasn’t that we really set a budget for Halloween this year but it turned out to be a lot of fun with great friends without much expense or aggravation. Coming from me, that says a lot. Halloween is not my favourite day of the year. Not for any reason other than I really don’t enjoy the creative process of deciding what to wear and where to gather the costume pieces. If someone has an idea, I don’t mind putting in the work to make a costume (M&M’s one year brings back lots of fun memories and it started with a night of ‘crafts’!).

Our eldest chose to be a ghost which was easy! A sheet cut in half with a hole sewn for her face, some face paint and practice making ghostie noises. Our youngest had a vision of her own which was a cross between fairy/sprite/wedding girl/lion…suffice to say, we had all the bits and pieces and she provided the inspiration and wielded her wand with much confidence and power!

We met at a friends’ place who made a fabulous pot of pasta and then it was out the door to trick or treat up and down the block. A few glow bands, some Halloween treats to add to the bowl and we were set. The weather held and it was an awesome night! Hope you had a Happy Halloween.
