Happy Halloween!

Last night we went Trick-or-Treating in Caronport.  One of the great things about living in a small community, is knowing the people whose home your at, even though your blocks away from your own.  There's a real community atmosphere.  We also had great weather; it was +7 yesterday.
Of course, the girls think Halloween is one of the greatest holidays there is.  Who wouldn't?  I go to your door, say trick or treat, and get candy.  How can it get better than that! 

This year we went as Dr. Seuss characters.  Rebekah & Chloe were Thing 1 & Thing 2, Glynn, The Grinch, and I was the Cat in the Hat.  It was great!  Rebekah & Chloe's costumes were relatively easy.  They wore red feet pajamas & blue wigs. 

We have a tradition of having pizza for supper on Halloween.   We were out the door by about 5:15.  Most of the time the girls remembered to say Trick-or-Treat.  However, there were times they were so enamoured with the candy bowl, they simply started to dig in.  Fortunately, you can get away with that when your 5 & 3!

Both girls were real troopers. We walked most of the way, which, when you haven't had a nap, can be a long trek.  Chloe was the first to be cold and tired.  At about 7:30, we drove across the highway to Caron, to take the girls to see good friends of the family.  By the time we got there, Chloe was asleep!  Consequently, only Thing 2 made an appearance. 

We finished Trick-or-Treating about 8:00.  After a warm bath, and a good dose of candy, both girls went to bed.
