Happy Halloween

The kids woke up before their 7am alarms today because they were excited about Halloween.  When I walked past Tannis's room, I saw that she had a box of toys scattered on the bed -- I asked her what she was playing with so early in the morning, and she replied, "I was looking for a Halloween costume for Elmo!  She's going to be a Fireman this year!" reminding me of how little she still is. 

When I asked Brad why he was up so early, he replied, "Because it's Halloween! Duh!" Both kids were incredulous that school would still be in session on Halloween. ("But it's a holiday!")

Finally, the time came to go Trick-or-Treating.  Brad was a Killer Hockey Player (and went door-to-door on his roller blades, which he's quite good on now) and Tannis was a Rock Star Zombie (she did her own hair and make-up).  Bear was a Racehorse, although he didn't like his costume and kept biting at it, so we had to take it off. 

And of course, Elmo went trick-or-treating too.
