All Things Halloween!

There have been many Halloween celebrations this year!  I think we've gotten about as much fun out of it as possible!  Our first bit of fun was on October 26th.  It was a cold rainy day, but Ken took the girls to Orangeville.  Fiona and I stayed home for the morning fun, nice and dry!  There were several things planned in Orangeville for the annual fall fair and last day of the outdoor farmer's market.  The girls got their faces painted, decorated pumpkins and they did some trick or treating.  The haunted Dojo was a highlight!

After Orangeville it was a brief stop at home before heading out to Richmond Hill.  We crashed the trunk or treat party at the chapel.  The miserable weather brought everyone inside - so it was really a trick or treat down the halls to all the classrooms!

Here is my cute little cupcake!

Then it was over to the Plumbs for their annual Halloween Party.  I really meant to take more pictures... (and actually the first picture was stolen from a friend!)

Next up, pumpkin carving.  Not sure when we will start giving the girls knives?  So far their jobs have been to help clean the pumpkins and to tell Ken what to carve.  Kate decided that she wanted her pumpkin to look like her jack-o'-lantern bucket, and Alice wanted what her sister had. (And of course there had to be a snack of Halloween Oreos!)

Next up, Halloween DAY - Kate dressed to go to school!

There was a Halloween Parade for the Kindergarten students, but it was one of those morning that Alice would not be moved... so we didn't go.  We made our own garbage day fun instead! The garbage man (is there another name these days?) really did seem delighted to be presented with a bag of treats!

Next up, the grand finale!  It was raining, but not too cold.  Ken offered to take the girls around the first bit and then I was going to take over.  However I wimped out.  I sat on a folding chair by the front door and held the cupcake baby on my lap and gave out candy. 

Halloween was great.  Lots of fun, some good treats to enjoy, happy children all around!
