Random hearts: Trick or treat...smell my feet (ewww) give me something yummy to eat! We craaazzzyyy heart HALLOWEEN!

3 days and counting until our most favorite holiday in the whole wide world happens!!!!!!!!! (OK, it ties with Xmas time). But how exciting...

Halloween is coming!

Its the 1 time of the year where kids can be kids and grown ups can be kids. We get to wear super fun makeup and costumes and fool around and stuff our bellies with candy.

Oh and guess what? Halloween treats have NO calories! Woooo hooo...pass the candy corns and the butterfingers...mama's starting early.

Here is a short history of Halloween or All Hallows Eve (PS...yes it is cut and pasted from Wikipedia...I'm not the best re-typer)....

Halloween has origins in the ancient celtic festival known as Samhain, which is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summer's end". The festival of Samhain celebrates the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half".

The celebration has some elements of a festival of the dead. The ancient Celts believed that the border between this world and the Otherworld became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits (both harmless and harmful) to pass through. The family's ancestors were honoured and invited home whilst harmful spirits were warded off. It is believed that the need to ward off harmful spirits led to the wearing of costumes and masks. Their purpose was to disguise oneself as a harmful spirit and thus avoid harm.

Now on to the fun stuff! Here is a small list to help you enjoy the holiday...

Grab a great costume
How rad is this "Barbie" costume! Yes, it could be suuuuper hard to get around the party in...
