Country Trick or Treating


Yes, they do celebrate Halloween in Canada:)

We went trick or treating in the country where you have to drive from house to house. The first house we went to, the nice man said, "Country trick or treating is way better. You get lots more stuff."

We found that to be true. We only went to 14 houses and the kids' bags and buckets were full. They got lots of little gift bags that had a collection of treats, plus juice boxes, microwave popcorn, toys, play dough and the rest of the houses gave a handful of candy.

The weather was awesome, and the people we went to were really happy to have us come. I love trick-or-treating (and not just because of the treats:)

After trick or treating, the kids bobbed for apples at Grandma's.







Halloween at School
Everyone got to celebrate Halloween at school. Lucy had a kindergarten carnival. Jill & Hanna had a costume parade. At their new school, it is much more relaxed as kids can wear masks and bring weapons as part of their costumes.

Jill and her 3 cool friends who dressed up like Quadruplets for Halloween.


Austin, the wild and crazy DJ for the school dance, went all out and wore an orange shirt and spiked his hair

It's nice to know that I am not the only adult who would rather not dress up. Really, why do we need too?

It was fun to have your gang come to my house. The more the merrier. This was my biggest halloween turnout ever!
