A glimpse at our Halloween

It's funny how Halloween has turned into a house-decorating, crazy costume making, fireworks kind of event! When we were kids I think we each carved a pumpkin, dressed up as a punk rocker, princess or a hobo (one year my sister was a robot!) and called it a night. I do remember watching fireworks in a friends back yard. Now we decorate the front entrance with pumpkins (6 this year), a spider web (complete with spider), skeletons, ghosties and tombstones. I love it! Jacob asked to be a kangaroo this year ... you will note below that he was a giraffe. I couldn't find a kangaroo costume, and I was not going to make a costume. He was the cutest giraffe on the block! We met up with our favourite gang of three year olds and tricked and treated our way around the neighbourhood! Our night culminated with a "spectacular" fireworks show in a friends backyard ... just like back in the day. We had a great evening ... and must remember next year to visit the house that gave out B-52 hot chocolate to the parents! Best ... house ... ever!
