Trick or Treat


Trick or treat this year was a real treat for Dominic. Nothing in the world makes this kid happier than CANDY. So, when you tell him he gets to go knock on everyone's doors and ask for free CANDY, well it just doesn't get much better than that. I let Brian take the kids around while I passed out the candy at home. I feared Brian might return after only hitting a few houses, but they were actually gone for quite some time. When they finally returned home, Dominic's Spider-Man bucket was completely filled to the top. Aurora couldn't quite keep up with Dominic's feverish pace, so her's was only about 1/3 of the way full. Any way you slice it = too much candy in my house. Add that to the enormous amounts of candy I was left with. I couldn't believe it. Last year I almost ran out. So, this year I stocked up and wouldn't you know, I got stuck with a lot of candy. Don't worry, it didn't last long. It is no longer in the house. Well, I guess actually it is because it's current residence is inside my large overgrown arse. And then I have the nerve to deny my kids requests for candy for breakfast, lunch and dinner! If they only knew my ulterior motives;)

Before trick or treat our street gets together for some Halloween fun of our own and this is the group photo this year. You see The Scream? Aurora was petrified of this costume! She called him the "bleeding ghost" because he had the pump that squirted the red liquid through his mask. She was, however, not phased at all by the creepy ghoul next to the "bleeding ghost". She knew her buddy/boyfriend, Will, was behind the outfit, so she would go up and kiss him right on the mask. Yes, I have trouble brewing with this little flirt;)
