Halloween

Anyone who knew me before I became a mother knew how much I hated Halloween. Ever since the year my parents split up and it was pouring rain and my mom took me to dinner at my favorite restaurant and got me the candy I wanted, I have not liked Halloween. It's never been a secret that my mom doesn't like it either and I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! I hate scary movies, haunted houses and anything with any kind of creepiness to it. In the years before I had James I was sure I would never again like it, but I was wrong, becoming a Mommy opened my heart and mind to try and enjoy this crazy made up holiday! I've even gotten dressed up the past two years since I've worked at the Peak.

Here's a few pictures from the night James tried on his super adorable
Lightning McQueen racecar driver costume.

Maegan and I all dressed up in our fishing/hunting gear for Halloween day at the Peak.

Halloween night getting ready at Nana and Papa's to head out trick or treating

Trick or treating at our friend's houses

Was in the neighbourhood so stopped and saw Ted Rodonets and his awesome Halloween set-up.
I have so many great memories of Halloweens as a young teen spent with Jan & Ted's daughter Jody. So great to have my son be able to participate in something I did love about Halloween when I was younger. 

Had to hit up Nana's for just one more handful of candy before heading home.

One last stop at the Tassell's, he is seconds away from crying here because the fireworks had started and he was scared.

Home now and ready to eat supper, have a bath, read stories and go to bed!

 Our only two little trick or treaters, Cora and Jaxon. James was so cute handing them the candy bowl and telling Cora "I like your wings" 

Overall it was a great Halloween and I'm already really looking forward to next year!
