Happy Halloween...

Oh, Halloween. 

There's something so magical about the holiday. Even more so than winter holidays.

For one night you get to bring a little fun and candy into a stranger's life.

What could be better?

We encounter Hurricane Sandy this past week,
and I was afraid it would ruin Halloween.

Luckily, most of the towns still held trick-or-treat. 

The beau and I carved pumpkins and handed out candy with my mother,

who is always in costume--this year as the Wicked Witch of the West. 

A fun night was had by all.

{I went with something a little more intricate, which paid off but easily took twice as long}
