We were more prepared for Halloween this year and much more excited. Everyone left work at around 4pm so we could go home and get the kids ready for trick or treating. I bathed and fed the boys, dressed them in their PJ's with thermals over the top and then their costumes. Ryder dressed up as Batman and Cooper was Optimus Prime. They were so excited and couldn't wait to get out the door, it was a pretty good night but they still had to wear their snow boots, mitts, hats and scarves. We were out on the street by about 5.15pm and knocking on doors, TRICK OR TREAT??
We did a big lap of the block, criss crossing across the road, looking at all the Halloween decorations. We were amazed. Some houses had their indoor porches all decorated with characters, sounds and lights, lots of people were dressed up, we even saw a dog with a pumpkin costume on, Cooper thought this was hilarious! Best of all, everyone had treats galore, handfuls of candy and suckers (lollies and lollipops), loot bags, cans of pop, gum, chips, crayons etc. It didn't take long for the kids to fill their bags. Ryder couldn't wait to eat his candy, on the walk he ate two bags of chips, three lollipops and a Kit Kat. By 6.30pm it was starting to get dark and colder, the kids were worn out so we headed back up the street to go home.

Back at home Steve had started to give out the loot bags Cooper, Taylor and I made up a few weeks ago. Everytime the doorbell rang the kids would race to the door to check out who was there and give them a loot bag. The costumes were great; twin chickens, Hoops and Yo Yo, fairies, princesses, monkeys, gorillas, witches, Harry Potter, wrestlers, Flinstones, babies, super heroes and more. We made 60 loot bags and ran out, Taylor ran downstairs and brought up a giant tub of candy leftover from her Halloween party on Saturday night. By 9.15 we were out of candy, we had at least 80 kids stop by our door. We turned off our porch lights and our second 'real' Halloween was over.
