Halloween 2014

This years Halloween costumes for the kids couldn't have been more perfect! Rylee was an Owl and Zach was, you guessed it, a monster! I know, so original!

I was pretty darn excited when I found these gems way back in August. Both are Carter's brand, and a steal of a deal for $12 each, especially since each costume came with pieces the kids can wear in regular day to day life.  (Ry got a white shirt and cute tights, and Zach got some nice fleecy pants that will be great for the winter.)

I unfortunately had to work until 4:30 on Halloween, so Sevio took the kids to the mall for some trick‐er‐treatin'. And after dinner I went out with Rylee, and our landlords for some more trick‐er‐treatin' around the neighbourhood. And after that, as if she didn't have enough, Rylee went out one more time with our cousin Kim. She had a fun night, and got a few treats before bed... and now to pretend that bag of candy doesn't exist!

Trick or Treat

Today is Halloween. 

And I'll be honest I nearly forgot about it, we don't make a big deal out of it... but I did have a costume for Rylee and although I didn't have anywhere planned for her to go and wear it I still had her wear it all day because it was so darn cute!

Conveniently we were at the mall today window shopping right at the time when all the stores have candy for trick or treaters. A nice lady from Starbucks gave us a bag to use for all the goodies and we carried Rylee around collecting all kinds of yummy stomach ache causing candies!  

And tonight while I was out getting dinner Sevio and his cousin took Rylee out for more trick or treating around our neighbourhood. And OH MY GOODNESS I cannot believe how much they came back with...they were only gone a half hour and got a reusable bag full of stuff!
