Happy Halloween!

I have always had a thing for Halloween. I'm not exactly sure why, but I always have fun decorating and carving pumpkins. Plus it's fun to hand out candy to the kiddies and see their cute costumes!

One of my colleagues was telling me about his sons' costume ideas. His younger son came up with the idea to go as an old suitcase. They have an old suitcase at home and they were just going to cut a hole for his head, and arm & leg holes. How cool is that? And he came up with the idea all by himself!
