Our halloween photo for this year. Kids had a good time and did not feel the cold while out trick or treaing. Loads morepictureson flickr. don't be lazy... go and look.

Kids had a little party inthe house before we went out and we had a haunted hallway, treasure hunt, guess whats in the box and build a skeleteon games.

Next year we are going to have a 'nice' halloween. This is the first year I gone around with the kids. It is usualy patrick.. and I stay home and give out candy. This year we left a bowl of candy on the front step for people to help themselves until we got back. Anyway.. all that were out were little witches, skeletons, werewolfs, zombies, wizards, hatchetmen and vampires. It is all the stores sell here. . Not sure how I felt about that. I saw ONE happy trick or treat costume in the form of Krutsty the Clown. There is a very big 'fancy dress' market but it is seen as something for everyday dressing up play rather than for halloween. So next year I am going for a happy medium!

Someone ran into the back of my car on Wednesday night. The kids and I are fine. The other car is a write off... it's front end crumpled like an accordion. My car is repariable and will be taken away to get fixed next week. I have a courtesy car until it is sorted.
