Halloween Memories


Halloween has come and gone! I am just so grateful that my children were able to go trick or treating. Due to the storm things are in a bit of a chaos at some places. Luckily my block and around me are pretty good-just some loose shingles on the side of our house. Otherwise we are good and hope everyone else who experienced the storm is good as well.

School is closed all this week for my daughter so I didn't know if people in my neighborhood would be up for trick or treating, but in true New York fashion people were out and about and doing their thing.

My daughter dressed up as Princess Merida from Disney's Brave and my sons were Captain America and Spider Man hehe They were all so cute. Its the real first time my eldest son got into trick or treating and my youngest it was his first time going up the steps of people's houses and collecting his goodies in his pumpkin. It was a lot of fun and I am just so happy they have those memories. Afterwards I had a little party in my home, my father and his wife came over to see the kids which I really appreciated because they live in another borough. I had my niece over so it was a blast. It was supposed to be on Tuesday afternoon with some of my daughter's school friends but again, due to the storm things changed.

All in all it was a great day and night. My babies filled their bellies with goodies which they don't do so often. I hope everyone had an awesome Halloween. I am defiantly going to be thinking of a vintage inspired costume for next year for me because I do like to dress up. Any suggestions?
My kiddies and I before we went trick or treating!

And now that we are into November, this pinup mama is going to start putting my head in the Christmas state of mind. Yes, I said Christmas LOL Hope you enjoyed the photos!!

  6. Awwww, your little ones are too cute for words! Love their big, excited smiles and adorable costumes. So glad you all got to enjoy a wonderful Halloween!

    I'm already turning my thoughts to Christmas, too. Though I'm pretty knackered (from Halloween and its lead up), the very thing I did at about 7am this morning was to take down all of the Halloween decorations, play a couple of Christmas songs (it's an annual tradition of mine to always play at least one Xmas song on November 1st), and set to work thinking about my holiday decor in our new place this year. Nothing went up just yet, but I tend to decorate early, so I'll probably start in a few days.


    Wishing you a beautiful November, sweet friend!

  7. That's a good thing that you can forget this storm with a funny Halloween day!
    Why didn't you costume yourself? If you think about it a month before next year, I'm pretty sure you will be to find a good vintage inspired costume.
    Here are my Halloween pictures, my costume was partly vintage: 50's dress and basket, 30's shoes...

  10. Gahhh your kids are super duper cute. :) Love their costumes!

    I'm so happy they were able to enjoy trick or treating when I know soooo many kids in NY and NJ did not.

    In fact, I'm so thrilled because all my friends living in NYC managed to evade the storm. Jonny's neighborhood was virtually untouched. He said if you walk around his neighborhood, you wouldn't have even known there had been a storm!
