Halloween 2009

The last day of October was kind of a bust around these parts.  I had good intentions of purchasing a pumpkin or two for some carving fun, but never quite got around to it and now that I’m working full days on Saturdays even my usual last-minute frenzy that follows much procrastination didn’t quite materialize.

Aside from the big  FAIL in the decor department, I wasn’t really sure what to do about costumes this year.  Malachi’s monkey costume still fit him from the year before, but I had originally planned on passing it down to Kashton and buying him something new.  Well good thing I never got around to that either, because he basically refused to have anything to do with a costume this year. 

Thyra had wanted to go as a clown and I had purchased her an adult and child size wig, not being sure which one    would fit her, (the adult of course), I figured   maybe one of the boys could us  e the leftover wig.

And that’s pretty much exactly what happened.  After a late start to trick-or-treating (aided in part by the fact that  the daylight savings time change now occurs AFTER Halloween instead of before, and unlike some of the neighbourhood kids, I insist on waiting until it it dark before unleashing trick-or-treaters into the night) the boys and their big sister managed to get up and down the street to all of our neighbours and still managed a pretty decent haul.
