Halloween 2005 at Carrington Place!

Another year rolls by and in comes one of the most fun parts of the year... Halloween! Anyway, its actually the only occasion where people in our compound get together for the sake of the kids.

As many of you can tell, Chloe is the recipient of many-a-costume. This year, we had four: a witch costume I bought from last year, a butterfly costume from Tita Nena, a Belle costume from Tita Beng and a Winnie the Pooh costume from Tita Rochie and Tita Tere. Heck, she still technically fits in the bumble bee costume from last year except I didn't think it would be pleasant to dress up a child in velvet and let them walk around in our weather. Say it with me, "Hot!" So we went with the light and airy butterfly outfit.

There were some great costumes out there when all the kids came out. Hats down to Unit B: Little syoti came as Darth Vader! The costume (clearly bought in the US) was just so jaw- dropping and all the parents were like "Aaaaawwwww." The little girls were a little scared as well.

Anyway, it was fun! The Angeles cousins brought their kids over and we all hung out and went from house to house before having a neighborhood potluck outside in our common driveway. Folks, this kind of trick or treat thing is quite fun especially when no long walks are involved and you know there's food waiting for you. Plus, the kids only had to visit what maybe, 5 houses?!? And since all the parents had sort of agreed not to overdo the candy bit, there were other treats, like stickers, toys, etc. It was great!

The morning of the party was quite hectic, but I found some time to put Chloe in two costumes and do my Halloween pictorial. (See below) Note, there are still 2 more costumes left so maybe I'll do that on the real Halloween (we're going trick or treating at the Zablan house on the 29th).

So enjoy the pictures folks!
