I am still going out without a coat. It's normally icy cold by now. Halloween is the week before Bonfire Night and around the same time as Diwali so people are setting fireworks off sporadically across my city all over this period. The thing I remember most about Halloween as a child is the faint smell of fireworks in crisp, cold and slightly damp air.... 2013 just isn't cutting it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-feel-like-halloween-week-to-you#post-1178138 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 08:03:57 +0000 Alivoo01 1178138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes because I have DS this year and I'm super excited about celebrating the holidays with him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-feel-like-halloween-week-to-you#post-1178128 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 08:01:37 +0000 photojane 1178128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't do too much this year since Sadie's only 8 months, but I'm glad for all of the activities! I want her to get more than just one night's use out of her costume - they're expensive (and I'm cheap)! Plus, I just really love this time of year. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-feel-like-halloween-week-to-you#post-1178118 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 07:58:38 +0000 Smurfette 1178118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well we had a wedding this weekend, so we didn't get to do anything Halloween this weekend but I am sending R in a Halloween outfit Mon-Wed this week. Then her costume on Thursday and a back up costume since I know she is going to spit up on the first one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-feel-like-halloween-week-to-you#post-1178100 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 07:47:36 +0000 MusicaV 1178100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I was looking up things to do this past weekend, and almost everything had a Halloween theme. It took me a few minutes Sunday morning to realize that most of the pictures in my FB newsfeed were of people partying in their costumes. LO and I are going to a BFing Halloween party today. Plus, last week and this week at Gymboree, it's wear your costume week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-feel-like-halloween-week-to-you#post-1178053 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 07:12:09 +0000 Dandelion 1178053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! we went to 3 "fall festivals" in 2 days this weekend, and DS's school has a spirit week going on, so it's costumes all week! Plus, I'm working on making goodies bags for his class for their party on Thursday. So, yeah, Halloween all around here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-feel-like-halloween-week-to-you#post-1178046 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 07:06:10 +0000 Honeybee 1178046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like Halloween is a week long event this year! Anyone else? </p> <p>On Saturday, we went trick-or-treating at the zoo. On Sunday, our church allowed kids to wear their costumes to a social after Mass for a little party (we chose not to go to the social). Today DD's gymnastics teacher called and told us the kids are supposed to wear their costumes to class. Tomorrow our church playgroup is hosting a little Halloween party, and Wednesday we got invited to a Halloween party/chili cookoff at the church down the street (I think we're going to decline this one, as well). Then Thursday is actual Halloween, of course, which means dressing up again and trick-or-treating. I actually love Halloween, but even I'm feeling a little burnt out on all the festivities! It makes me feel a little nostalgic for the days when Halloween consisted of a classroom party and one hour of trick-or-treating after dinner. :) </p>
