Halloween

    

Another Halloween has come and gone. That magical time of year when scary is ok,bats could be vampires ;),carving pumpkins and enjoying all the fun Halloween entails.

 This year the weather was a little less than desirable but the town decided to still have trick or treat on Halloween evening. Thankfully the rain gave way to a decent time of trick or treating, the local kid's club did an indoor trick or treat and we went to one of our fave relatives so Kaya could get treats and have fun. Kaya had a ball so that is all that matters. And that we made it in before the rain cut loose like crazy!

 Our sweet little vampire nurse visited her Mimi last weekend in costume (sans face makeup lol) at the nursing home and Mimi and the staff loved it. As did all the residents. She did Tuesday night at our cousin's nursing home party. The residents hand out candy and see all the trick or treaters, it's totally safe and the nursing home staff provides the kids with a mini party...cookies, cider, hot chocolate, chocolate milk, popcorn and coloring pages. Kaya loved it and loved going with her little cousin. I like it too because Kaya learns that not everyone gets to celebrate the way she does and sometimes it's not always about getting the "treat" it's also about treating someone else to a smile.

 I think Kaya has learned that lesson because trick or treat night she asked to stop by the local gas station where our friend works and give her a piece of candy.."because she can't trick or treat so she needs to be thought of too! It'll make her happy" And it did :)

 Daddy enjoys the holiday too and made his own zombie makeup (even though the rain put a damper on him getting to wear it...it would fall apart/run) and Kaya loved how his hand came out lol

Not bad for school glue, toilet paper, homemade "blood" (hairgel mixed with food coloring). He did a good job lol

The Hacienda loves Halloween and we really have had a great October. Since we didn't get to make them last night we did Mummy dogs for supper and Kaya was amazed. Simple twist on pigs in a blanket. We put a blanket down on the front room floor and instant awesome picnic :)

We rationalized today is Los dias de los muertos  and that leads into All Souls Day so we were having Mummies LOL

All in all a great holiday and a good month. Hoping November is full of fun, laughter, love and blessings as well :)
