This is the last post in my three series post following Halloween Saga (2016-2018) and Halloween Saga (2019-2020) . We are finally here in 2021, the year of vaccination, the year of HOPE!

While we are on it, I wanted to share some positive news with you guys, Ms. V got her first shot of Covid vaccination this weekend 🎉!

Continuing from where we left, our 2021 Halloween pumpkin carving/painting tradition commenced just a week before Halloween this year.

On Saturday evening, the girls worked on an Alien and a clown. By the time we were done, if no one Ginger for sure was a little spooked and kept her distance from them! 😂

• 

This Halloween was special for us because we had a new family member, our little puppy to celebrate with us this year!

• 

While S loves his dog, he isn‘t into the idea of dressing them up, the girls on the other hand were super excited about dressing her up for Halloween.

This once, I was with the girls, she is the new baby in the house and we wanted to do dress her up! And that’s what we did.

• 

On a weekly shopping trip to Fred Meyers, I picked up a Unicorn costume, Ms. Ginger was so excited that she almost ate Unicorn’s head off 🤣. Ms. Unicorn had to go back, she wouldn’t have survived till Halloween at our house.😂

• 

After the Unicorn debacle, the girls voted in favor of a superhero character, I mean we’d had Batgirl,Supergirl, Wonder Woman in the past so why not the puppy too? 😛

• 

• 

And what better place to order than Amazon for last minute shopping ! Within a day we had a Wonder woman costume and a matching headband delivered to our doorstep.

Oh my, the trial session was a laughing riot 😂, luckily for us, this time, she couldn’t grab the skirt 😅. Finally we had a dress for our puppy.

• 

In my last two posts I have covered basically everything Halloween, the carving, dress up and finally the party.This post is no different, we did that and some more.

Moving on to the girls, V wanted to be a Ninjago character given that she got a Ninjago theme birthday party earlier this year. Did you know a decent Ninjago costume is priced at 60$ and more! I mean seriously😑.

• 

I looked at many online sites before dropping the ball on this one. With her first choice out, she went for her backup option, she was going to Hermione Granger.

I shopped for the pleated uniform skirt, the polo tee, the cape, the wand and the tie, the whole shebang! Well I am just going to pretend that it was far lesser than 60$ 😬.

• 

Now Ms. N wanted to be a Fish this year, her heart was set on it. One day strolling down the Halloween aisle in Target I found this butterfly costume, back home my baby didn’t need much convincing, she was happy to be a Butterfly!!

• 

This year I only shopped at Target, their Mondo Llama Halloween collection made for the cutest spooky gifts and treats! Most of it sold off within days, I just got very lucky with online shopping.

Halloween fell on a Sunday , it was perfect for a early evening snack party , giving the kids enough time to go trick a treating later in the evening.

As always there was spooky snacks and pizza , freeze dance, lots of noise and coloring.

• 

Soon after the party wrapped up, I teamed up with Satya and took girls to her community for trick or treat. It is always more fun when doing it in as a group.

• 

With their buckets full of candies and treats, at 7pm I finally called it a day.While I love throwing these parties and I invest some serious time and energy in them, it can get very exhausting.

• 

Oh! The girls still wear most of the costumes, they have just gotten shorter, so Ms.V now mixes and matches them to create a new costume, a new superhero trying to save the word every other weekend.

For me investing in these costumes is total pasia pasool 😂.

• 

Before I go, I should mention Pankaj, a dear friend who has been the eye behind the lens, the one who captures all the fun moments😍 , the group photos but never once appears in them herself. Thanks to her we have some amazing memories from the past.

• 

So this is it, the Halloween Saga, a photolog series of our Halloween Journey so far! If you did celebrate hope you had a fun one this year!

I am moving on to the Diwali post, see you there soon.
