More Halloween!

We had a great Halloween. Chris has been working so much (he had maybe two days off in all of October) and finally legally had to take days off, so he was off today, and doesn't go back till Monday. We woke up and got Macy ready for her preschool Halloween party. Again she went as a kitty cat. After we dropped her off, Chris and I went for a breakfast date (we figured it’ll be the last date for a while) at Cora. The breakfast was delicious. I brought my camera, but forgot to take a picture, too bad, because with all the colourful fruit, both our meals were picture worthy. Anyway, after preschool and quiet time Macy went to her library class. We came home, made dinner (chili and cornbread muffins), and got ready for trick or treating.
 Here's a picture of our house with a little Halloween decor. Because of freezing and thawing, and moist weather, both our pumpkins were mushy and unable to carve. So we didn't carve this year, but we have a fake Jack-o-latern, and really, I was ok without all the pumpkin carving mess.
 Macy and her cool skeleton glasses she got from a classmate at preschool.
 It is so hard to get a good picture of her these days, luckily Chris got this one.
 Ready to go. The weather wasn't too bad. It was very windy and raining in the afternoon, but the rain stopped, and Chris said with all the running around Macy did, she was plenty warm.
 Ready to head out with Dad (I think Macy is looking in her bag and just imagining all the goodies she is about to get). We live in a great neighbourhood, Chris and Macy started out by themselves, but three houses down when they knocked on some friends' house, that family joined, along with another family. Macy had a great time going around with her friends, William, Lasha, and Max, and meeting the new neighbours who just moved in, and have twin 5 year old boys. Chris said it was fun for Macy, but if they hadn't been such a big group, they probably could have gone faster and got more candy. As it was, they were out for over an hour and half!
 Excited for her candy, but so willing to share anything with Mom and Dad. What a sweetie!
One more of the house at night. The camera makes the inside look brighter, but we had it pretty dark, so the pumpkins in the window looked great.
It was a fun day, and now we're looking forward to the long weekend we get to spend with Chris.

Wow - that's a ton of loot! I need a plastic jack o lantern, I detest carving pumpkins.

You have such a pretty house!

I loved seeing Macy's candy--it makes me jealous of the different candy you get in Canada. It looks like she got chips and soda too...that was a hit with our girls last night. Macy is a very cute cat!
