Happy Halloween

Trick or Treat!!!  What an awesome time we had...  Halloween is not as big in South Africa as it is in America, but we're getting there...  I will be honest, i was blown away at how much effort some people put into decorating their homes, and the special sweetie treats they put together for the children...

Next year i will definitely be a little more creative when it comes to decorating the house - we only had some halloween garland on the front porch, but wait until next year, then it will be spectacular!!!

Aiden was dressed up like a pirate:

 And his friend, Phillip, was a vampire!!!

When i lived in the US (i lived there for 4 years) - halloween was one of my most favourite holidays...  We always use to dress up and take the kids trick or treating, and then go out afterwards - there was always some or other party going on somewhere - ai, the good old days...

Here are some pictures of the awesome treats we got - check out the little pumpkin - isn't it awesome!!

Yummy!!!  Lots of sweeties - of course Aiden will have to share with mom!!!

This year i decided that i wanted to do something special for Aiden to take with to school, to share with all the friends in his class - i made little goodie bags, each bag had 2 coookies and a couple of sweeties - i'm sure i made a couple of hearts happy today...

Don't you just love the stamps - it's a Halloween stamp set from Hero Arts - i love their stamps...  I stamped all over the little brown bags (it just looked way to plain without anything on it), and then made the little tags to go with it...

For the teacher, i made the same little bag, but with a different tag - oh, and i made Andrew take one with to work for their lady in the office - and she loved it as well...

 

I'm off to bed now, i can barely keep my eyes open...

I'll be back soon with some more awesome goodies to share...
