Halloween Wrap Up

If you've read Nick's blog then you will have already read some of our Halloween adventures from last night. We had such a fun night!

We had heard that a local mall was offering trick or treating. We thought it would be worth a shot, seeing as how it started at 4:00, was completely indoors and safe for children. It was so much fun! We met up with our friends there, and the two girls had a blast. Darcy was a chicken and Alisa was a princess. The boys were both too young for trick or treating, but they sure looked cute as Superman and Tigger. We'll definitely go back next year.

After supper at the mall we headed home (it was still just shortly after 5:00 by this time!) and got Darcy ready to go in the neighbourhood. She went for well over an hour and was quite a hit wherever she went.

We had such a beautiful night for trick or treating that Wesley and I sat on the front steps to hand out candy. He was also quite a hit in his Tigger costume. We closed up shop around 8:00 when all of the kids started being bigger than me. One teenager, however, had a sticker on her costume (Pippi Longstocking - it had been a lot time since I've seen that one) that said, "I am a student at Walkerville High School. All the candy I collect tonight will be going to Sick Kids' Hospital." I asked her if it was true, she said yes. Her friend said she went to a different school that wasn't participating in the program but that she was collecting to help the kids too. I gave them extra candy, so I hope it is true! If it is, what a great idea.

All in all a very happy Halloween was had here. Now it's time to start Christmas shopping.
