Halloween

We bought heaps of chips and candy (new word) in preparation for Halloween and at 7.00pm we were wondering if we would have to eat them all ourselves, luckily we were inundated with kids a bit later, all dressed up in great costumes and carrying sacks for all their lollies.  The kids walked around in groups of two to five and they must have been freezing.  Some girls from Taylor's class came to our door and asked Taylor to join them.  She came back in about 20 minutes to get a bigger bag for all her treats.  At about 9pm we turned our lights off and ignored anymore doorbells.

Earlier in the day Cooper got dressed up in his Darth Vader costume and we went trick or treating at a couple of houses.  The local police were out and Cooper was most impressed by the showbag of lollies he got from the policeman.  We also lined up for over an hour at the mall to get a Halloween photo, by the time we got to the front of the queue Cooper was sick of his costume and wouldn't wear it so Ryder had a photo on his own, he was dressed up as Woody from Toy Story (so cute).  I was amazed at all the dress ups, babies to adults, I saw some gorgeous babies dressed up as dragons, lions, bees, flowers, kids as witches, superheroes, M&M's, characters from computer games, we even saw two parents dressed up as Raggedy Ann and Andy, Steve said 'I am never doing that!'.
