This is me 2009. (I didn't color my hands couse I didn't want to rule the china). On my way to the party I took the subway and just when I should sit down, the train totally stop so I fall over an old lady. Guess if she got scared?! 1930927_41...4b1a9f.jpg
I could look at these FOREVER! My favorite ones are the parents/kids. They are just such great parents to do that!!!
They don't trick or treat here in Panama. Folks celebrate by going to party at their family's homes. Then there are kids who don't get enough to eat much less candy. I used to like Halloween but it has become way to commercialized and down right scary.
In Sweden we have one Hallween-weekend and ond All saints- day. I thns that is respect for the ones that we haven't whit us any longer.

I was just wondering: is it not quite a while until Halloween? Although some costumes are so sophisticated that it would probably take from now on if you would like to replicate them...
Halloween is only about three weeks away. If you're as hardcore about it as some of these entries, you have to be working already. Heck, the stores put out the Halloween decorations as soon as area schools started and they took the school supplies down a month ago.
