Kim has been bugging me to put up the Halloween pictures and I’m finally getting around to it! Now that it’s November, they almost seem irrelevant. Isn’t it funny how just a few days pass and it feels like ages?

Halloween was so much fun this year, but it got off to a rocky start. Everything we planned ended up falling apart and we were beginning to think we might as well just stay in and carve our pumpkins. In the end, we decided that trick or treating with my aunt, cousin and her two kids would be the most fun, so we were all set. Then my Aunt Nikki’s flight booking got mixed up and she missed her flight! It didn’t look like she would be able to make it and we were bummed. At the last minute, she was able to find a cheap ticket and we also got invitations to Joonbug.com’s 8th Annual Halloween Masquerade Ball at Espace. I spent the day with the lil ones and family and the night with my friends. It was perfect! Though I’m not a party person (I don’t drink OR dance…I’m a fuddy dud), I had a lot of fun at the party. There were some amazing costumes and some very awkward/hilarious happenings going on. Plus, girls were hitting on Bobby left and right (in front of me!) and it’s really funny to see him blush. Now for the pictures!

My Aunt Nikki was the cutest Raggedy Ann I’ve ever seen. We met up with her, Shana, Pio and their boys Jack and Nate for trick or treating in the neighborhood. There were so many incredible costumes! Nate and Jack can be seen at the top of this post, next to their friend Little Red Riding Hood. They were both Batman!

This boy was in character all of the time. Someone dangled a ring in front of him and he went wild.

Three cute little girls with those funny little kid smiles.

The cutest little Max I have EVER seen!

Harry Potter!

We ran into another Bert and Mary! I was so jealous that she had the real umbrella. Why didn’t I think of that?!

Kim was one of my childhood idols, Jem. If you don’t remember Jem and the Holograms, stop making me feel old.

Last, but certainly not least, Miku was a squirrel. A mix of cute and creepy, it was a huge hit. She was really upset when I took it off of her. She tried to put it back on!
