I was so excited for my kids to be able to experience Halloween this year! It's not really a big thing in Australia, and since we've been there for 4 years and will be there for another 5 they aren't going to have Halloween again for a long time! We practised "Trick-or-Treating" with the kids around the house and Elly loved it! (Even now 2 months later she still says she wants to go trick-or-treating!) We carved pumpkins and had one lit in mine and Charlie's room, made and decorated sugar cookies, went to our community league Halloween Party and of course, went trick-or-treating with cousins!
 |
| Charlie loved stabbing the pumpkin with the mini saw! |
 |
| Pumpkin guts! |
 |
| Charlie and Elly are troublemakers! Especially since we've been in Canada, Charlie finds little hiding places, then him and Elly find and steal treats and hid them and eat them! Here it is grandmas famous toffee. |
 |
| The kids loved eating the cookie dough! |
 |
| Charlie being a good older brother and feeding Elly cookie dough... |
 |
| dough! |
 |
| We found several programs every week that we went to - most of them were music ones, and I really noticed Charlie and Elly singing more at home after the classes! Elly especially loved music classes! |
 |
| The kids had to walk around and balance the beanbag on their head! |
 |
| My dad got tickets for an Oilers game from work - we had really good seats! |
 |
| And the Oilers won! |
 |
| Charlie and Elly loved going to "the blue park" and it has this cement cars table! |
 |
| Charlie was Optimus Prime and Elly was a My little Pony for Halloween! |
 |
| Our little bat mouth jack'o'lantern was so cute! |

 |
| We got some snow just in time for Halloween! |
 |
| Charlie loved it, Elly not so much! |
 |
| Snow turned into rain and it was pretty chilly! But we've definitely have worse weather on Halloween |
 |
| Charlie and Lucy were relentless trick-or-treaters! After every door they'd run down the steps and yell "full steam ahead!" and dash to the next house |

| Elly and aunt Mary |
 |
| First baby snowman of the season! |
 |
| Charlie was a fan of the smarties and rockets |
 |
| Elly's candy of choice were suckers |
