It was raining all day yesterday and the boys were feeling pretty let down by the weather… We talked about it and it was decided that we would hit just a few homes and then come back home and give away candy…
Just as we were about to head out it was still drizzling but was stopping…. the boys were excited and we all headed out to go Trick or Treating and walk around the neighbourhood while the weather permitted…

Once we got outside the rain stopped… and suddenly the sky started clearing up as the sun went down, giving us a beautiful sunset and our neighbourhood started to be flooded with kids…
We walked through the neighbourhood, the air was cool but not cold in the least and the smell of leaves and autumn filled the air… we took a similar route that we take every year which brings us to a little dead end street hidden away that not many know about (unless they live in the area)… all the homes there have elaborate decorations and are all open to trick or treaters…
We didn’t go as far as we usually go but after about an hour of walking around and gathering candy, Colin wanted to head home… and I was willing to follow because I can’t seem to walk far these days without my pelvis getting the best of me…
So we headed home and the boys got excited to hand out candy…
The minute we got in I put all the candy together that they had recieved and separated what they could eat (which ended up not being much)… a few other peices went into a bag for us parents and the rest went into a bag to give away to the kids that came to our door… we went outside and waited and though we got a few kids we didn’t get many…but the few who came got tons of candy and glow bracelets… and Colin made sure that the parents got a few pieces also…
The boys were a bit disappointed at the turnout at the end, but it was soon forgotten… we watched a movie and hung out until we all headed to bed and once we were there Xavier and Colin took turns telling us some scary stories…
It turned out to be a great evening…
