Happy Halloween!!! (whether you’re into it or not!)
Halloween for us is just a kid’s excuse to have fun. Nothing more, nothing less. I know of someone who gets really upset with Halloween because of it’s perceived negative connotations and then some who don’t care at all for Halloween. It’s just an excuse to get dressed up and have a bit of fun, for goodness sake……
In the past few years, we’ve always had a smashing time for Halloween:
Halloween 2010 – We stayed at home and played dead (Best Halloween for Mama!) because T2 was only a year old and Mama had no maid. Hang on, Mama hadn’t a maid all those years anyway! Hmm….it must have been the year that Mama was just plain SUPER LAZY.
So we’re back in action slowly starting Halloween 2011 with a little activity……..leading up to our big Halloween plan – ONE FINE DAY. Watch for it. It’ll come, I just don’t know when yet o_o
This year, T1 became a Police Officer.
.
And T2, a kung-fu ballerina…..
.
Seriously, she wasn’t in the least bit demure nor graceful but instead did kung-fu stunts that her sister had taught her with her balloon stick.
.
Trick or Treat??? Who does tricks anyway? In my 5 years of Halloween in Kuala Lumpur, I have never come across a trick. Come on, someone, trick me!
.
After trick or treating, the sisters separated their loot (read: T1 cleverly tells T2 what she should and should not have because SHE IS A BABY).
.
The Baby obediently listen (surprisingly) and quickly rummages through her baby loot.
.
Ooooh. What have we got here? Organix California Raisins!!! Wow!! What a pretty Box! The drawing looks like the boy is holding chocolate! Oh, it’s not chocolate.
Next.
These are very, very good raisins; not dry like the sunmaid ones.
.
So that was our first Halloween…….
…….of which my girls made me wear a really old top that I was about to throw away but they insisted on me wearing it because they said, “SPIDER’S WEB!!”
Honestly, I had never even noticed. To me, it was always just a black patterned top so I thought, OK, one last time before I throw it out. Later I thought, hey! why throw it out? I could wear it every Halloween, haha! Or cut it up and make it into a Halloween something…….dracula’s veil? I don’t know.
.
Our next Halloween, T1 dressed up as Harry Potter but DAMN, I didn’t take a single photo of her!!! She had the glasses, the very amazing twig which was her magic wand, the lightning scar and the invisible cloak. I know nothing of Harry Potter but she educated me. Even T2 watches Harry Potter now and actually likes it, I kid you not. They both don’t find it scary at all but funny. I think my kids belong in some other world. Seriously. The evil, devil’s world……
.
My little devil was supposed to dress up as a baby Ladybug but alas, she wanted to be herself. No costumes, please.
.
The kids went trick or treating in the neighbourhood and look what they came home with!!! Blooming Bumble Bees!!! They were on a super sugar high with T2 having tons of M&M’s and T1 trying all kinds of foreign candy. OK, OK…..I stole some too. Treats have to be taxed, right?
.
Evidence of sugar high and a really good time………
Happy Halloween again!!!
