Halloween is a fun time to try a new look. This horse decided on being a skeleton. I understand last year he just wore a hat, but wanted to be more creative this year. I think it worked. I’ve been impressed by what I’ve seen the dogs in the neighborhood wearing. The witch costume is adorable, but I’m surprised the dog doesn’t knock the hat off.

Costumes and candy are what Halloween is about to me. We recently visited three haunted houses in Williamsburg, but didn’t see any ghosts. The tour guide was great and he assured us he’d seen a few. I say better him than me! I know the Celtic people wore costumes so evil spirits wouldn’t bother them on Samhain. Building bonfires also helped ward off evil spirits. Some of the scary costumes I have seen would certainly do the job!
