Happy Halloween

A very Happy Halloween to all my dear friends! This holiday has started to take on more meaning to us ever since we had the kids! And now that my older one is almost 6, there's so much excitement around here during halloween. She cannot really decide what she wants to be until the very last minute! After much thought and much dilly-dallying it was finally "Good Witch" this year (Is there a good witch really??? ) And my little one - its very easy - she wants to be princess every year. But, I cannot reuse costumes! She's too smart for that! So much so, I am on the list of endless consumers this year spending a fortune on costumes!
This year we have had several Halloween parties already! Starting with the one at my work where everyone participated with such enthusiasm. All aisles were decorated and it was amazing to see the work that went into it! And then we had a party at a friend's(Shabna) place, a parade and party at school and finally some trick or treating tonight! Whew! Waiting for tommorrow :-)
Here are some pictures I've taken so far.
