Happy Halloween!!! (whether you’re into it or not!)

Halloween for us is just a kid’s excuse to have fun. Nothing more, nothing less. I know of someone who gets really upset with Halloween because of it’s perceived negative connotations and then some who don’t care at all for Halloween. It’s just an excuse to get dressed up and have a bit of fun, for goodness sake……

In the past few years, we’ve always had a smashing time for Halloween:

Halloween 2010 – We stayed at home and played dead (Best Halloween for Mama!) because T2 was only a year old and Mama had no maid. Hang on, Mama hadn’t a maid all those years anyway! Hmm….it must have been the year that Mama was just plain SUPER LAZY.

Halloween 2009

Halloween 2008

Halloween 2007

So we’re back in action slowly starting Halloween 2011 with a little activity……..leading up to our big Halloween plan – ONE FINE DAY. Watch for it. It’ll come, I just don’t know when yet o_o

This year, T1 became a Police Officer.

.

And T2, a kung-fu ballerina…..

.

Seriously, she wasn’t in the least bit demure nor graceful but instead did kung-fu stunts that her sister had taught her with her balloon stick.

.

Trick or Treat??? Who does tricks anyway? In my 5 years of Halloween in Kuala Lumpur, I have never come across a trick. Come on, someone, trick me!

.

After trick or treating, the sisters separated their loot (read: T1 cleverly tells T2 what she should and should not have because SHE IS A BABY).

.

The Baby obediently listen (surprisingly) and quickly rummages through her baby loot.

.

Ooooh. What have we got here? Organix California Raisins!!! Wow!! What a pretty Box! The drawing looks like the boy is holding chocolate! Oh, it’s not chocolate.

Next.

These are very, very good raisins; not dry like the sunmaid ones.

.

So that was our first Halloween…….

…….of which my girls made me wear a really old top that I was about to throw away but they insisted on me wearing it because they said, “SPIDER’S WEB!!”

Honestly, I had never even noticed. To me, it was always just a black patterned top so I thought, OK, one last time before I throw it out. Later I thought, hey! why throw it out? I could wear it every Halloween, haha! Or cut it up and make it into a Halloween something…….dracula’s veil? I don’t know.

.

Our next Halloween, T1 dressed up as Harry Potter but DAMN, I didn’t take a single photo of her!!! She had the glasses, the very amazing twig which was her magic wand, the lightning scar and the invisible cloak. I know nothing of Harry Potter but she educated me. Even T2 watches Harry Potter now and actually likes it, I kid you not. They both don’t find it scary at all but funny. I think my kids belong in some other world. Seriously. The evil, devil’s world……

.

My little devil was supposed to dress up as a baby Ladybug but alas, she wanted to be herself. No costumes, please.

.

The kids went trick or treating in the neighbourhood and look what they came home with!!! Blooming Bumble Bees!!! They were on a super sugar high with T2 having tons of M&M’s and T1 trying all kinds of foreign candy. OK, OK…..I stole some too. Treats have to be taxed, right?

.

Evidence of sugar high and a really good time………

Happy Halloween again!!!

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
