And now we close October. It has been 4 equally tiring yet fun-filled weekends (with lots of food I would need top weight loss pills – well Ive needed it ever since) of October. We ended October by attending a Halloween party last Saturday. I held off buying their Halloween costumes the last minute because I wasn’t sure if we were going to one or going to a party of my sister-in-law. Edil decided not to go because 1) Typhoon Santi was coming (it knocked off power supply from 3AM to 2PM but it was so cold we didn’t notice) – it knocked out our wooden bamboo fence! and 2) He was not really excited about the traffic going to Manila.

So off we went to SM Friday afternoon to get them their costumes. I think I will buy costumes the last minute all the time because everything was 20% off! Matthew wanted to be a ninja but Edil told him he would look reed thin, so he chose the Indian Boy. Martha wanted to be Cinderella right from the very start. I tried dissuading her because Belle (the gold gown) would look so good on her or Snow White but she would not hear any of it. It was a good thing because she looked absolutely adorable!

Here is my Indian Boy:

And Cinderella:

The two of them:

The two of them being themselves

It was such a bummer that Martha got REALLY scared with the monsters – it was an adult party complete with a Chamber of Horrors where you pass through three tunnels which house three monsters – Linda Blair, Lolong Kuba and Tyanak (I think). She warmed up after everyone ate but she didn’t get to join the parade. Sayang kasi she was absolutely adorable – every one was scary she was the only one who was a princess. Matthew was mad though – he told me, “Next year, ako na talaga pipili. Kelangan scary Mom, SCARY!” (Hello, diba bawal yun sabi ni Sister?! )
