Happy Halloween to you too. :)

Thank you. :)

Happy Halloween! Are you dressing up baby Tomato? I've seen so many adorable baby outfits here and I bet the choice is even more extensive where you're at.

Little Tomato has a pumpkin costume that my mother bought him, so he'll be wearing that. I had thought about making something myself (the SO and I are all about the DIY costume and usually make a matching set), but life tends to be a little scaled back these days. It was easier and more pleasant just to do nothing this year. :) So pumpkin it is!

I'm sure there are pretty decent options here in town, but I don't think I'd go as far as extensive, since it's a pretty small town. I guess I could probably dig up just about anything online, though.

Now I'm curious. If you don't mind me asking, why not? (And please feel free to pass on the question if it is too personal.)

Also, thank you. :)

Ah, I see. :) I was thinking it might be more of a cultural thing, since I realized that I don't know where you are from and some parts of the world don't celebrate it the way we do in North America.

I'm not really one for scary movies and such either. For example, I regret ever looking up the Slender Man (please do yourself a favour and DON'T EVER DO IT)and watching some of the videos. I continue to think about it and freak myself out in the middle of the night when I'm up with the baby and walking by a window. I think I've always been a little scared of the dark, but I grew up in a place where there is much more wilderness than anything else and people (with good reason) really do believe in ghosts and fairies, etc.

Haha! We did call him a little pumpkin for a while, because my pregnancy was announced at my family's pumpkin growing contest party the previous year. :) He's doing great. We took him out to a couple of houses last night (just people we knew) and he wore a little pumpkin costume. Too cute.

Oh, I see. That's cool. Most people in the comm do tend to be from the States (with the UK being a close second, I think?), but I try not to assume.

Yeah, it's actually an online thing, and sort of like the Blair Witch Project, documenting it as if it was real. Just... don't. It scared the crap out of me forever.

We were fine here. Sandy bypassed the maritime provinces completely and just hit Ontario and parts of Quebec. We had a really nice, sunny day, in fact. Thanks for asking. :)

Awww, so cute!
Thank you for sharing and safe and happy Halloween for you too!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :) Glad you like the pics. Elder Bella and Mortimer are so sweet in Sims 3.

Happy Halloween! TS3 has such gorgeous scenery omg. Love Bella in her red dress!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :) It does have great scenery. Look at those stars!

I love having the ability to dip all of Bella's clothing in red paint with the custom design tool. :P All must be red!

Happy Halloween! :) We had our little party on Sunday (as you saw!), but the candles are lit once more and very soon we're gonna watch a scary movie. ^^ (We're fairly unlikely to be visited by any kids where we live.)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :) Your party looked great. Lots of attention to detail. All I've done this year was a half-assed job on some lights in the window this morning, so maybe we'll get a kid or two. Our house is in an odd location (on a hill on a corner, with no houses on the other side), so we usually get less than 10 of them.

We might take the little guy out to a couple of friend's houses, but otherwise it will be low key for us.

Enjoy your scary movie! :)

[meetme2theriver.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :) We're on the fourth floor of an apartment building, and while Halloween is quickly growing here it's not THAT huge just yet, so. The people who are against it are fighting a losing battle, though. :P

Little Tomato was adorable in his outfit. :D

We ended up watching The Eye, which was pretty good. A little bit confusing at times, but I put that mostly down to cultural nuances. Had some creepy moments but in the end I think it was more sad/interesting than scary, but I'm kind of immune to most horror films because I've been fascinated with them from a very young age. :P

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I think it's cool that it's suddenly catching on there right now. I'd like to pick up a new holiday like that here. It seems fun. I was living in an apartment building while in university and I don't think we got many kids then either. Maybe just the ones who lived inside it.

Thank you. It was a little too big, but I think that just added to the cute. He'll probably be able to wear it again next year for our pumpkin party.

I don't watch a lot of horror films, because I tend to get really creeped out by them. I'm such a weenie like that. I have some friends who are really into them like you and they're equally immune. I used to get dragged to see movies like that in theatres with them and I'm probably still freaked out by some of those scenes to this day. XD

[meetme2theriver.livejournal.com]

It's been steadily growing for the past 10 years or so, but it wasn't a thing when I was a kid. Shame, because I would have loved it, I'm pretty sure!

Now I'm curious about which films you got traumatized by. :D I'm very picky about horror films, really. I'm not a fan of the gore/monster/chainsaw/zombie stuff, that's more gross and dumb than actually creepy. I like films like The Ring and The Shining, and more subtle things, where the scare comes more from the atmosphere, the unknown, the anticipation that something is going to happen... Traditional ghost stories, really. The less CG and impressive special effects the better. :P

Happy Halloween to you as well. Have a great (and spooky) night! :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) Halloween is always a fun night. I'm sure it will become a favourite as the little one gets a bit older.

[skellington7d.livejournal.com]

Aw, Bella and Morty grew old together! :D Happy Halloween to you too!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) I love that they get to have a simpler, happier future in Sims 3. Bella and Mortimer deserve to be happy. They go through so much in Sims 2 and all the many game universes created by players as a result of the setup there.

[simtopi]

Awww! They're still my favourite couple, even in TS3. Hope you had a great Halloween!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think they're my favourite canon couple in all the games, too. The fact that it's not just a simple, perfect story only adds to that. The Summerdreams are a close second, though.

Thank you. :) You, too.
