Celebrating Halloween has really evolved for me. I remember my younger (Grade School and High School) days when I would go around the village with my cousins, racing to get the best and most number of candies in. It was always so much fun at the end of the afternoon when I'd be so overwhelmed with all the candies I had accumulated in just 3 hours! Then I remember my college and single days when it was no longer about the trick or treating, but more of the gimmicks -- in costume still of course! -- with friends. We would frequent Makati and Malate where it was totally normal for adults to go around in costume. I even remember winning some money at a bar in Malate for my Snow White costume! (remind me to look for old photos from those days...) It was really fun staying up with friends and having a few drinks. Those were fun times indeed!
Then I got married and had kids... and it was a whole new Halloween experience. The STRESS of making sure your kids have costumes and the logistics of everything... it's no joke! ha ha. But seeing my kids having fun and getting all excited, so worth everything!! This year was a blast since we practically filled up a hi-ace with the kids, yayas and us adults! It was a lot of chaotic fun.
My son Santino came as Thomas the Train (his favorite), Belly came as Alice in Wonderland and Giovanni was a monkey!
Aren't they just the cutest?? :) Dressing up kids for Halloween is just too much fun... especially if they don't complain and actually wear the costumes the whole afternoon. he he :)
Of course the whole caboodle was in full costume force... even the yayas had a blast!
Can't wait for next year! Happy Halloween!! :)
