Here it is...October 31st already.
The children had a wonderful night of Trick or Treating despite the cold. Sam went out as a zombie, Julie was a Spanish dancer and Jordan was a chicken.
Have you ever seen those inflatable costumes? We love them and have quite a few. This year Ian wore the inflatable Grim Reaper carrying a man. It's so funny to look at because while Ian's body is in the Grim Reaper part, his head is in the man part. I hope you can picture that because I know I'm not describing it very well. He covered his face with zombie makeup and looked awesome. I wore the same inflatable pumpkin costume I wear every year.
The children have enough chips and candies to last them until next Halloween!
I loved watching Sam and Julie helping Jordan up and down the stairs. She was able to keep up with them for the most part which surprised me. I'm sure they'll sleep well after all that fresh air and exercise.
What did your little people dress up as for Halloween? Did you dress up too?
I'm off to bed - I'm pooped!
Oh dear GAWD I hope you took pictures of Ian in his Grim Reaper costume!!
ReplyDeleteWe have family spread across the county, so our trick-or-treating consists of driving 10 minutes to one home, spending 30 minutes there, driving 10 minutes to the next home, spending 30 minutes there...etc.
It takes all night to go to 4 homes. And, I'm still exhausted at the end of it!!
I was nothin'. Nothin' but a mom with day old hair.
Creative, huh?
Happy Halloween!!! I'm so glad to know Canadians celebrate too! My brother lives in France where they don't observe this sugar fest.
ReplyDeleteI dressed up like a mom today...gotta love sweatsuits! :)
Trying to catch up after a busy week of fall festivities. Sorry for being a delinquent friend! :)
I would LOVE to see Ian's costume!! Post a pic!!
ReplyDeleteBoy Oneder chose not to trick or treat this year...I guess he's "above" trick or treating now that he is in grade nine.
Middleman was a green skeleton (his Facebook wall costume was too awkward with his big coat on underneath) and Threepeat was Wolverine.
They had a great time and got tons of stuff, but it was wicked cold out there. :o( Who was the one who decided to have Halloween in October in Canada? Why can't they trick or treat in August???
That Grim Reaper outfit sounds great!
ReplyDeleteHalloween is so strange but fun.
I agree... post a pic! :) I absolutely love halloween in this neighborhood. (We have been here two years now.) We have a couple of hundred children come by and it is like a neighborhood party. We just sit on the porch and enjoy the night. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat no pictures? I thought you were a better trained blogger than that :)
