October 28 Halloween - I DON'T BELIEVE IN HALLOWEEN - YET I LOVE IT - IT IS JUST FUN AND COLORFUL AND HAPPY

 

MACKENZIE'S COSTUME


A BLUE ELEPHANT

Mackenzie - 5 weeks - tummy time.  She has literally turned over already - as she HATES it.


Do you get this????    ↓ 



I really don't believe anything about Halloween.  Just it is a fun Holiday for kids to get some candy. Have fun.  I do love the colors more than anything.  I never wear orange, but I love the color!  Yellow too!  

















Went to a play once in Atlanta, at the puppetry center and this was the way it was decorated.









A new word - lit - the kids use.  It does not mean drunk or drugs.  Just a fun time.

Oh yes, it's a colorful and fun time for the whole family! My grands love trick or teatings! I love seeing these all dressed up too! Happy Halloween to you and yours. As always thanks for the smiles this morning!

Thank for the laughs!

Cute cute halloween memes.... Mackenzie is going to be so cute in the little elephant costume.. hope you grab pictures (I know you will). When I was growing up, Halloween was simply about candy and having fun...Not ever was there any thoughts of scary stuff...just fun and games.

I really got a laugh out of your funny Halloween memes, Sandie. So cute! But not as cute as MacKenzie. Blessings!

The mummy or whatever it was, wrapped in TP was cute. I had fun at Halloween as a child and back then it wasn’t cool to keep trick or treating after a certain age. I think once the adults started dressing up, is when it got to be big business and it changed the innocence it once had. Now if you’re not dressed in some frightening way, they’re dressed up in seductive attire that leaves nothing to the imagination. 13 year old girls dressed like sexy witches, or hookers I just don’t get it.
Actually when I think of Halloween I think of the Zodiac killer. I remember one Halloween all the parents were freaked out because he wrote to the Chronicle about the trick or treaters. Now that was SCARY! 😱

These are all so great! My favorite, however, was the Real Live doll in her crib.

Mackenzie's little blue elephant outfit is darling. I can just see her in it. And she's already turning over! That is one fat cat. He ate too much pumpkin haha. And you'll have to tell me about the three weirdos looking at each other. Have a wonderful Autumn week, Sandie. Can't believe October is almost over. Seems like it went by quickly.

I love the cat and pumpkin one! We do not celebrate Halloween. I do have a small decoration for the grandkids, but it is always fall things for me. Hates turning over?

CheerfulMonk said...

I especially like the man eating pumpkin. πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘❤️

Debby@Just Breathe said...

That costume is adorable. Wow, she's turning over already. Ha, Ha, Ha on the 3 weirdo's! That's funny in the bathroom. Oh my, Happy Halloween to you!

Love your Sweet Pumpkin and can't wait to see Her in that blue elephant costume.
I'm really not into Halloween now since its all about gore and suggestive things. I know I'm showing my age by being a bit bah humbug about it. We still give out candy but don't have many little kiddos in the neighborhood any more.

Beautiful costumes and decorations.

Remember Charlie Brown getting rocks in his bag at Halloween? Never would have happened but Charles Schultz could always make us laugh. Remember us treat or treating and using plain brown paper bags? We did anyway!

Ann said...

Aw, she's going to be the sweetest blue elephant ever. Thanks for sharing all the Halloween humor.

YEP she is beautiful I am sure in and out of costume. And of course I loved the graphics. And YES it is a fun time, always has been. Some folks make more of it than it is. I enjoyed the night all my childhood and NEVER give thought of worshipping the devil, or even cooperating with him. But if one must complain and make a big deal out of nothing that is their prerogative.

Poor Charlie Brown!! That blue elephant costume is adorable! Mackenzie is even more adorable!! Thanks for the giggles and I'm sending a hug!! xo

What a cute costume for such a precious little bundle πŸ’ž

Halloween is a takeoff from the Celtic harvest celebration Samhain, it was always believed that the veils between our realm and that of the spirit realm were thinner at this time of the year.
Easier to commune with those who had already passed over.
In the southern hemisphere, we who celebrate things the old way celebrate in April, when it's autumn hereπŸ‚πŸ
It's still celebrated here in October, even though it's spring, to do the same as the northern hemisphere, which makes absolutely no sense to me πŸ‚πŸ

these are hilarious, the BABY is the cutest and so is the costume... I loved Halloween as a child because of bags of candy, was always a witch, or an indian woman, mother made the costumes, once used a brocade curtain to dress like a queen as a young adult.. that is the last Halloween I had
