Happy Halloween!

We had the best Halloween so far in our lives. The weather was perfect. Just the right temp so no coats were needed and just the right amout of wind to make our costumes look more scarier! While the girls and Jared headed out the door at 6.30p to start their tick-or-treating, I got ready to hand out candy with my little "dead" pirate strapped to me in a baby carrier.It was a great night, there weren't that many tick-or-treaters in our neighbourhood so I didnt have much to do. But the few that did come complimented me on my witches' costume. My favorite part of the costume was the hat, it had these great feathers sticking out along with a few black ribbon roses and a black veil with spiders glued on. I think it cost like $15.00 but it was so worth it. If I didnt have that hat I would have looked Lame!!!

The girls were so excited to dress-up and this year they finally understood what Halloween was about, free candy! Elizabeth said Trick-or-treat at every door that she visited and Jamie just said "gimme candy". We are still working on her!

As for the loot, the majority was chocolate and then we went out to the grocery to get more chocolate at half price, so now we have enough chocolate for the rest of the year! That is if Jared doesn't eat it all in a few days!

Once we got home from trick-or-treating we had just a few minutes to get ready to head out to a Halloween party with some friends, so we got to wear our great costumes a little bit longer! It was a great party with some really amazing food. Lots of dancing and singing too! It truely was a great Halloween. We're thinking that next year we will have a Halloween block party for our little street and we can dress up the whole neighbourhood, but it is a work in progress! Hope you guys had a Happy Halloween!
