Our Trick-Or-Treating Posse! Every year some of the Dads from our street all take the kids out together. Lots of fun!

(Late) Halloween pictures

Sorry these are late! I'm just plain lazy. :-) Halloween was great. The kids were super excited. We met up with a few neighbours and all hit the streets together. It was pretty cold that night, so we were only out for about an hour. Sarah and Abby were great, and got lots of candy (too much!). Jessie and Mom stayed home and handed out candy. We had about 25-30 kids show up. Not a lot, but more than last year! Here are some pics and video!!

Our new lawn decoration. It was a hit!


Pumpkins!

The Dragon and the Butterfly Princess


I really didn't get any good pictures of the Princess costume at Halloween, so this is one from when she got the dress a whie ago. :-)

Crazy Pumpkin Art

For those of you who have lots of time to spend carving a pumpkin (I tried last year with disasterous results) there are some free PDF templates at PumpkinGlow.com.


If anyone makes something cool, email a picture to me and I'll post it on the blog. Try not to lop off any fingers in the process! (If you do, send me a pic of that, and maybe *that* will go on the blog! hehehe)

Happy Halloween!!!

How To Carve A Pumpkin

In honour of Halloween, here is a Flash tool to show you how to carve a pumpkin.

How To Carve A Pumpkin

Happy Halloween!!

Halloween fun was had by all. Sarah dressed up as a ladybug, and went to most of the houses on our street (maybe 8) collecting candy. She had the "Trick or Treat" prefected (although it sounded more like "Tickor tweet" :-) ). Abby was the Great Pumpkin. Our neighbours have (hopefully) started the great idea of not only giving out candy to the kids, but also beer to the parents taking the kids out. Next year I'll be standing beside the girls - them with a loot bag, me with an empty 12-pack. heheh

Frowning pumpkin?



Is there a pumpkin on that ladybug?
