It's that time of year again...time for Trick or Treating and all things Halloween! I absolutly love Halloween. I love the variety of candy that is out there, I love the free stuff, I love trick or treating and all the events and activities that go with it. Mike on the other hand is a Halloween scrooge. He says he can buy his own candy and would rather stay at home than go knocking door to door to find some. BIG FAT SCROOGE! So, thankfully, he humors me but not for long! Here the kids are all ready for the Street of Screams at the Centre at Norpoint. I love the super fun scary houses that the kids can trick or treat at.
All dressed up: Aidan of course, is something spooky and creepy, Bella is a witch, and Owen is Spiderman. I bought all of the costumes this year at a garage sale (Aidan's $1, Bella's was a combination of free box items with the hat costing me 50 cents and Owen's was an outfit that I passed up on at a garage sale but when Owen went back with me, he couldn't resist. I paid a quarter thinking it would be an outfit that he could dress up in at home...turns out it's his favorite thing to wear!) so for $1.75, the kids have three Halloween costumes that they are happy with.
Owen drew this cute little pumpkin for his friend at school inviting him to the street of screams at the Centre. I thought he did such a nice job on the face that I had to take a picture.
Owen has been obsessed with Lego's recently. I have the hardest time spatially putting legos together so it's a big joke in my family when I try. Owen cheers me on nonetheless, and I am able (with LOTS of time) to put together some acceptable sculptures. Thankfully, we have lots of instruction books but even so, I struggle. The flower pot, dinosaur, helicopter and fish shown below took me a whopping two hours to put together. Owen is shown above holding the helicopter but even his gentle hands break the rudders and can send me into tears for all the work I put into it! Oh well...I try!
