Our last two Halloweens took place in much warmer climates – at least October 31st was much warmer than it typically is in Saskatchewan. So it was a bit of a shock to have to bundle up with parkas and mitts etc. so that we didn’t get frostbite this Halloween.

Still, I don’t think it dampened the rush of coming home with gigantic buckets full of candy!

Yes, he’s growling. :)

We post pictures of our kids and pretend that they weren’t total monsters when we tried to take their pictures and that they didn’t run around like wild animals on the sidewalks while we worried that they were about to tear off into the street and be hit by a car. And we don’t say anything about how we kind of wanted to throw their candy into the fireplace with a lit match because they were losing their minds with all the sugar and staying up late.

And then we take pictures of the mutha-effin’ GIANT FREAKING CHOCOLATE BARS that our neighbours gave out because they are THE BEST NEIGHBOURS EVER!

Avery went trick-or-treating with her friend the Cowardly Lion for the first time this year. After the first house we went to she asked if we could home so she could play with Josh. After the second house (and every house thereafter) she asked “Are we going to the next house Mom?”

A-freaking-dorable!
