Halloween 2014

Despite snow in our forecast, it was a beautiful evening; cold but quite nice for trick or treating.
Every year I try to encourage the kids to be creative when putting their costumes together but Grace is the only one to takes me up on that!

Jean knew she wanted to be Mini Mouse since last Halloween.  All year long she asked me for black high heels just like Mini so I broke down by the end of the summer and found her some (on sale) and then Grandma Mary Ellen gave her the Mini dress for her birthday as an early present.  I thought it was a nice change from the usual Disney Princess that she wants to be!

Grace decided on this costume in late September - she is always so good to be creative when coming up with what she will wear.  We researched SuperWoman on Pinterest and the boots were a must!  We made duct tape boots (there are quite a few websites with instructions) and found the rest at Value Village and Walmart.  She had fun putting this costume together.

Alex decided on being a Ninja very recently.  We were at Value Village and he was unsure of what he wanted to dress up as until he found this costume.  He really liked the sword!

We are off on our trick or treating adventure... all through the countryside we drive to Renfrew and back.  We like to visit family including great-aunts and uncles, Granny, Grandparents and a few houses in between.  Its always a fun evening!
