Happy Halloween!

Loralai had such a great time trick or treating this year! Last year we likely went to about 10 homes, and this year we probably went to about 35! It was just Mommy and Loralai walking around since Daddy is still working in Edmonton; Grandma Brenda stayed at our house and handed out candy for us! Loralai and Mommy had made up 65 treat bags to hand out to the kids: 1. to make it easy to hand out the same amount of treats to each child, and 2. its easy to keep track of how many kiddies we had come by our house, and this year we had 61. 

So I told her that the houses that had lights on were the ones that were handing out candy. I let her take the lead in which direction she wanted to go, and she choose which houses she wanted to visit! I did not even have to walk up to the door with her, I waited down the drive way a bit, she went up and said trick or treat and thank you to each house, although I do have to say that I did have to prompt this a few times! Loralai just kept saying after each house "where do we go next?"...so we just kept going until she asked to go home. We then got into the car and drove over to Carrie's house and went trick or treating just at their house too! 

I am just glad that it was a nice night out! It was a little chilly but nothing that a sweater and mitts couldn't solve for me, and Loralai had a sweater, fall jacket and of course her firefighter costume! 

Here are some pictures of my brave firefighter!

and last but not least a picture of the new awesome wreath that I got on sale at Canadian Tire on our front door! 

Hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween as well! 

Time to sneak some candy ;)
