Halloween.... I love it so much. it is my favorite thing....ever...in the Fall. I love walking around at night with a bunch of other people walking around at night...dressed in costumes and having fun. Our neighborhood is just- the best - for this.
one guy at the end of the block has a really cool digital art (spooky) show that he projects on his garage....it is spectacular.
and all of the neighbors have kids....everyone....has kids and everyone is out visiting and hanging out.
I absolutely LOVE it. and I start early...asking my kids what they want to be...and then trying to find those costumes...usually on ebay...and I have to give myself loads of time for the search...for the shipping... oh yes......I really get into it.
Oh...and I really super get into the pumpkin carving....well...of course I do- I mean...that makes sense...any chance to do something artistic...creative....I'm there...
so that brings me to this year's costume for me. Usually I put all my effort in kid costumes...and then I just kinda...wear a witch's hat...or bunny ears....or something lame like that- but I always want to have a really fun costume- something totally over the top. :) fun.
This year....I am going to be Aphrodite. It was a toss up between a mermaid...and a greek goddess...
I'm going with a greek goddess.....and not just any greek goddess...I'm going as Aphrodite...with a costume on...of course...I'm not going to be emerging from a scallop shell...naked....it's not that kind of party and it gets pretty cold here around that time of year- so that just wouldn't be smart.

She's all about love....she is love...and that makes me happy. :) maybe I'll get some heart tattoos to pass those out too...or maybe...hmmmmm.. Hey...I just might. spread some love around...
Yes, yes...I know....Halloween is supposed to be all scary...and spooky...and whatnot. :) that's fun too.... I love that part too. Which makes me then think of being some goddess of the underworld...but no....I don't want to be all goth...and black...yuck.
... knowing me...I'll probably just want to sprinkle glitter and stick heart tattoos on people. <3
Peace and love...and Aphrodite...and here's to radiating love and creating beauty.
hallelujah. <3
