Hallowe'en

[Chelle12]

Lots of you with kids here... so anyone got anything planned?

My son is 13 now, so not as excited as I am, though I'll still be making a fuss. I remember last year, I made a buffet and settled down to watch "The Fog" with him (I know its a 15 rated, but I watched it first and it doesn really show anything gory).
We had ice cream floats in skeleton glasses too
And chocolate 'ghouls'.

I always have a big bowl of sweets next to the front door too, cos the neighbourhood kids make a bee-line for my house...
Maybe something to do with the gargoyle outside, the witch in the window and the pumpkins in the lobby and attic window...lol.

Hallowe'en

Not exactly "hallowe'en related" but remember when the last Harry Potter film got released at cinema? (in UK), well me and my son got dressed up in cloaks to go and see it we looked well spooky, lol...
and got a lot of comments that night!

Hallowe'en

That's cool! I'll bet you did get a lot of good comments! Enjoy it...he looks about the end of those years...after that he won't really want much to do with you/us...

We will miss Halloween this year as G and I are flying to Paris that night. The kids are off in college (US college) and we made the reservations before everything collapsed so we need to go through with it or lose all our deposits and tickets.

In terms of drinking it will be a real trial for me!!!!

Hallowe'en

I love your outfits, so cool. I've still got young ones, and I love dressing up. We'll probably get all dressed up and trick or treat around the neighborhood. Halloween is one of my fave holidays, I love the dressing up part.

Hallowe'en

That's one thing I actually really miss about my kids getting older - I used to make them all costumes - I have some really cool ones, and now dress my nieces/nephews up in them when they come through town. I will miss it this year - road trip to see my daughter for her b-day on Nov1.

I wouldn't worry about your son watching a 15 rated movie. My kids watched adult and even some restricted movies at an even younger age. They seem to get used to the gorry, yucky movies that I can't handle. Plus, when my youngest guy was 15, he went and saw The 40 Year Old Virgin - IN THE THEATRE!! What???? Isn't that restricted?????

Hallowe'en

Chelle,

You and your son are just scrumptious!!!!

I guess I'm a big kid at heart cause I have an adults only costume party at my house every year, it is fun fun fun!!!! I don't like gross or scary things but I love costumes! I will have a drink or two on this night but I definitely have guests that do not drink any alcohol and LOVE the party and festivities.

Who is dressing up and what will you be???? I would love to know!


Luvya,



Myheart

Hallowe'en

Students choose "mad scientist" for the teacher costume contest. I'm a science teacher so not too much of a stretch for me...I guess I'll go as myself (with a few adornments).
