Home :)

We're home.....Chris is on his way home and the kids are packing everything up ready to go to bed :)

It was a fun, all be it exhausting, night!!!! I think Lloyd and I are delaying our horror movie night until tomorrow :)

I got to say hi to Colleen at the mall...and see her very cute little dragon and Tigger too!

Off to have some supper with Lloyd now - goodnight!

No snow :)

I forgot to say this morning - the best thing about this Halloween is that its 10c and there is NO SNOW :)

I heard they got a little on Friday, but we were in BC so we didn't see it - and if we didn't see it then it didn't happen lol! So its November tomorrow and we have not had any snow yet :) How fabby is that???? Woohoo.....so it can't possibly be as long a winter as last year :) Yay!!!

No snow for Halloween - and above freezing temps!!!! No snow suits under costumes and no snow boots needed :) just wonderful :)

Two little pumpkins, sitting on a bale.....

Circle Time and Cake Time....

Abigail and a little boy got to stand up and help perform the songs at circle time.....she loved that :) And at snack time they all enjoyed cake and juice :)

Samantha....or is it???????

Samantha always gets into the spirit of things at events like this....easy to see why kids just love her! I told myself I would only go along for an hour or so....I always say that....but yet again almost 3 hours passed before we left!!!! Samantha and I just get talking and the time just flies!! And even after all that time, Sam had a tantrum because he wanted to stay!

L'il Ladybug........

Abigail was a ladybug for this mornings event....

Paint splatter pumpkins.....

Abigail and Sam getting creative with pumpkin shapes.......

This bug table was at the Halloween event this morning...Sam had great fun with all the bugs!

Wicked witch coloured cakes :)

A few of the little cakes I made last night :) The kids took some to school and are having some now with milk for an after school snack :)

Happy Halloween!!!!

Happy Halloween everyone!! I hope everyone is having a good day.

This morning I took Abigail and Sam to the Parentlink Halloween festivities. It was so much fun! A big pumpkin cake to enjoy at snacktime.....a pumpkin patch to play in and for photo opportunities, in fact pumpkins EVERYWHERE!!!!! There was a whole table of Halloween themed story books to curl up on the sofas and read...we had circle time and sang songs about pumpkins....there was a neat craft where you got to wobble a tray about and get a marble to roll about in paint over a pumpkin shaped sheet of paper....

My friend Samantha rustled up some orange muffins....and wow her costume was amazing....I have pictures to add later :) The effort Samantha put in is amazing - especially considering she's in a great deal of pain with her knee right now....

Samantha has persuaded me (depending on the weather) to have a Guy Fawkes Celebration on Sunday.....so I stocked up with sparklers for it today.....

I'm a bit wary because last year I planned to do one and it ended up being crappy weather AND we were all ill so it didn't go ahead and we ended up lighting the sparklers in the kitchen on our own!

Now we are waiting for the kids to get home from school...they should be back any minute as its early-out today. Susie has a friend coming back for the evening and we will take them into town trick or treating later....to our old subdivision to say hi to the old neighbours etc

Laurie is meeting his friends and Chris isn't coming home at all today as he is off to some friends to celebrate there :)

When we get home we have our traditional 'sort the stash' and then once the kids are in bed Lloyd and I are going to watch The Ring 2 - we tried to watch it last year and after 5 minutes I made him switch it off as I was too scared....so we will try again tonight (lol)........a horror HAS to be dfone on Halloween :)

Ok, I'm going to sort the pictures :)

Happy haunting everyone :)
