Costume Party

Now that we are in our new house(and in a neighborhood), we can finally go trick or treating! We used to live in an area where there were not very many houses. We would have to drive to different neighborhoods to go trick-or-treating. Most of our time was driving around instead of getting candy at lots of houses. That was not very much fun.

We are going to have our first costume party, too! We are going to invite a few families, roast marshmallows, and have fun! All of the kids will trick or treat together in the neighborhood and then play at our house.

I am planning on dressing up as a scary ghost. I wonder what everyone else will dress up as. What are you going to be dressing up as for Halloween?

Our party is going to be so fun. I can hardly wait!

Halloween

As we prepare for Halloween I became curious about it. I looked up information online about Halloween and thought that I would share with you what I found.

Halloween is really the eve of All Saints' Day. We get to celebrate it by dressing up and trick or treating or giving out candy. Halloween is primarily celebrated in the United States, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. It is said to orignally have roots from the Celtic festival of Samhain as well as the Christian holiday, All Saints' Day, however it is mostly a secular holiday celebration today.

What are you going to dress up as? Happy Halloween! :o)
