Obviously my boys couldn't keep their masks on straight! Joseph seemed to manage fine and at every house when the greeter said "wow, Batman came to visit me" Joseph would lift up his mask and say "no, silly, it's me Joseph". It was way too cute!
Alex on the other hand couldn't handle the mask and depth perception and ended up bailing a half dozen times and now has a scraped up nose - better than a broken nose!
Aaron took the kids out for the first half and I did the second half. I think they probably visited about 25 houses and filled their buckets twice. I'm not sure how many kids we had visit us, I made 100 treat bags, gave one each to the dayhome kids so that leaves 95, we've got about 40 left, so that's 55 and I gave 2 to most of the kiddies so I'm guessing we had about 30 this year which is about the same as last year. The town hall hosts a pumpkin jumble event every year on Halloween night so I think that's where a lot of the kids are going nowadays. The mall seems to be a big hit lately too. Although when it's minus 5 or 6 on Halloween it totally makes sense to me! Lucky for me, Aaron brought Jacquie and I some nicely warmed Bailey's to keep us toasty while sitting outside waiting for Trick or Treaters. It was the Caramel Bailey's and it's mmm mmm good!

I remember in past Hallowe'ens we would fill the parent's mugs with a little something when the little kids came around. Now most parents wait by the road. We had about 15 kids show up and Joe would say - 'take a handful' and let them grab their own treats. Needless to say, we have a lot of stuff leftover. I'll be giving someone a little treat in his lunch bag until the New year!
Love the costumes! How very original.... ;) Superheroes are all the rage this year, aren't they! Superheroes and princesses!
