New York City, Boston & Philadelphia Local Halloween EventsHowdy! So, are you getting in the Halloween spirit yet? I just ordered Kelsey's costume last night. There's going to be a great celebration at the barn this weekend (mentioned in yesterday's Daily) where both rider and "horse" parade around in costume! Kelsey is going as Minnie Mouse and "Ace" will be Mickey. A teenage zombie nerd is what Gianna will be dressed as and I'm just not sure what "All-Star" will be dressed as. How do you turn a horse into a zombie nerd? Have you been wondering what to do for Halloween? Today for Where to Go Wednesday, Tanya and I decided to each focus on Local Halloween Events to help you figure out how to spend the spookiest holiday of the year! Thanks to some wonderfully, resourceful journalists, I have linked, what I think are the best events going on in the major US cities for Halloween.

| WTGW - Lots of Fun happening in our own Backyards!Hiya! Can you believe that it's already humpday?! I hope that you are having a great week so far! Mine has been pretty productive - which for me is always a good thing! Yesterday I took Cosette to her Horseback riding lesson, and Dominic to his fitness classes.  Cosette and Porcha I do run around like a bit of a mom taxi at times, but I so much enjoy going and watching the kids each and every time. And some weeks we are talking about all 7 days Monday to Sunday full of events!  With a newly turned 13 year old and an almost 16 year old who has been involved in extra curricular activities and sports since he was 3 years old and she was 18 months old, it still hasn't got old for me. While I don't just sit there and stare at them 100% of the time (as I did when they were younger). I always bring a book or magazine to read or my tablet and I manage to get stuff accomplished (be productive) while I'm there.  The Azores - Click on the picture for more information on these beautiful islands For instance - I booked our March 2015 trip to the Archipelago of the Azores just last night while in-between keeping an eye on Dominic and his "moves". And let me tell you...these kids do look up to check on me, making sure that I am "watching" them... Makes me smile - I find it rather cute that they do that!
