hope everyone enjoyed their night of trick or treat?! it was a little chilly for me - what was it? like 26F/-3C or something? the wind made it feel colder than that. don't worry about the kids, they were nice and toasty with their layers and layers of clothing under their costumes. matthieu was a ninja, we ordered his costume online and it came late last week (nothing like waiting til the last minute!) his ninja blade arrived a little busted up but good old duct tape fixed it up like new.we met up with the bedard's and the schmechel's so the kids went as a group. they seemed to have a blast together. guy and mike had the priviledge of escorting emily and amanda, brooke, matthieu, danielle and chantale. terry, lesa and i followed behind them in the van.
some of the (older) kids were too chicken to check out the haunted house at tim erickson's house. we discovered it last year and thought it was AWESOME!!! i'm sure it was just as great this year! danielle seemed to think she was big enough to handle it so she went on in... she said she didn't remember going last year and after seeing it last night she said, "i'm not going back to that place ever again! it's too scary!" just watch... she'll be going to see it again next hallowe'en : )
this is what trick or treating in northern minnesota looks like:
well those are the cutest little fairies and cutest little ninja i ever did see!!!
