Another Halloween has come and gone...no Great Pumpkin, but lots of goodies just the same! There are only two children in this canyon...Jordyn and a neighbor boy named Blaine. The rest of the community are retired folks enjoying their golden years, so we thought we would pay them a visit, bring them pumpkin cake, and trick or treat. Justin worked from home this year so he could go out early to trick or treat with the kids. I was dressing up as a witch, so Justin decided to copy me... he came out of the bedroom in one of my dresses (which im sorry to say looked better on him than me) and we decided he would look better in the hat...so presto...two witches were ready to take their daughter out trick or treating!
Folks were sooo happy to have trick or treaters...its been over a decade since most of them had any kids come by, so this was a treat for them as well! Our costumes, as well as the kids costumes, were a big hit so we all rcvd goodies! Thats not to say that justin and i were out soliciting candy...i think his hilarious appearance warranted free candy is all! :) So we politely accepted! :)
Most houses were decorated with all kinds of Halloween fun, and because this is a small neighborhood, we were welcomed into each home for warmth and a nice visit!
Our last stop on the route...Jordyns Great Grandma and Great Aunts house, where more trick or treat goodies and some yummie dinner was awaiting us! Mac and cheese, broccoli and carrots, a glass of scotch for dad and a cold beer for mom...a perfect ending to a perfect holiday!! I love Halloween! Hope yours was wonderful too!
cheers~

Really enjoyed your Halloween pics, but have to ask what Jordyn was dressed as? She looks gorgeous, and I'm sure my own DD's suggestion that she's dressed as a cauliflower (!) isn't true at all! On this side of the Pond, people don't have much imagination, and just generally dress as witches or buy horrid plastic masks to go trick or treating. Still, among the dozen or so visitors we had, was one young man dressed as a pumpkin (he ditched the large chocolate bar he was carring in favour of the smaller one DH offered him! He'll learn :)
Looks like your little ones had a great Halloween.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

You brought your neighbors pumpkin cake? Sort of reverse trick or treating. What a nice idea.
Jordyn's costume is just precious.
