trick or treat

Even though it was 10 degress below normal and half a foot of snow outside, it didn't stop these brave trick or treaters from getting as much candy as they can carry. Aidan and Cassidy joined there cousins for a night of treats. They didn't go out for very long but managed to walk away with a huge stash for us. This was the first year in many years they had to ware skipants and winter boots. Liam unfortuantly didn't get part of the action. He stayed back at the house because of the cold. But he sure made himself known when the treats came out!


Aidan had a spirit day at school today. They asked the kids dress in a bible character or animal. Since I don't remember Superman being on Noah's ark, I quickly rummaged a costume together. His tail is what I am especially proud of. An old tank top stuff with toilet paper!





As for other news, after several years of Steve telling me we would get one of those super nice artificial trees, he finally did. After looking at trees at Canadian Tire, the one we liked was $300. We then go next door to Costco and they have one that is WAY nicer for $96. It is huge!! and so full. We set it up at home to make sure we didn't get suckered into buying crap but it is beautiful! Makes our old tree look pretty charlie brownish! It isn't decorated yet, i have to buy new decorations because it is so big and new lights. Those who know me, know I like to set up decorations on November 1st.

Wow, Christmas decorations already - that's a great idea! $96 is a great price for a tree, but we don't really have room for a tree in our place!
It looks COLD there. I have officialy become a BC 'wuss' - yesterday was only +5 and I thought there was no way it could get any colder than this! We will have to pack WARM clothes when we come home in December...
