Random Halloween thoughts..

Halloween is approaching and even though it is probably my favorite holiday, not a single decoration has been placed, I havn't even found my cute little black cat/pumpkin candle holder because it's buried in the disaster that is our basement. 

Buying a house is expensive. Buying a house while in the midst of attempting to show off even a little bit of canada to my australian friend who happened to be staying with us at the same time is really hard on the cashflow.  So even though I couldnt resist buying BabyBug a halloween costume (because a 10 month old really needs one!) I've been waiting for the next payday to go and get some halloween decor. I need at least a cute scarecrow, or a ghost.. anything.

But oh how I miss the nights of running through the streets of my town in costume begging for candy. I especially miss the year or two I did the not so nice halloween activities in the even later night. This year I get to dress up BabyBug as a Ladybug and hit up friends and family for loot she won't get to eat, and then return home to hand out candy to a new generation of little monsters and divas.  Seeing the costumes is fun, the glee and excitement on their faces is contagious, I'm not looking forward to my really annoying doorbell ringing continuously but its still worth it.

oh and bonus; the only person I'll have to share my roasted pumpkin seeds with after carving the pumpkins is TheMan so that will be excellent!
