Happy Halloween!

It may seem like this post is really late, seeing as how we're nearly in the middle of November, but we just had our Halloween yesterday.  On the actual Halloween night, we were still without power and trying to get a generator so we didn't lose all of the food in the refrigerators.  Trick or treating and other Halloween festivities were postponed until November 10th for our town, but then our governor confused the issue by saying that state-wide Halloween would be re-scheduled for Tuesday, November 6th.  Some of our town was still without power so despite the governor's recommendation, we waited until yesterday.  I only knew this because I found a facebook page for our town that kept updating what was going on.

We had planned quite a while ago what the babies costumes would be.  I was given a Tigger costume by my sister (I think) and then found Piglet and Pooh costumes at my MoM's club sale back last fall.  All of the costumes were 12 month size, so we thought we'd be fine.  Back in Sepember, we started to worry that they weren't going to fit in this size so the search began for the next size up for all of characters.  T's mom found Tigger first at a local consignment shop and then Tony found the other two on Ebay.  So we actually had two sets of these costumes.  We ended up using only one of the larger sizes but it was good to have on hand just in case.

We went downtown to the fire hall - where the town was having their trick-or-treating.  We got there pretty late, but we let them take their normal nap and lunch time so by the time we got out of the house, the festivities were basically over.  It was fine really because they really shouldn't be eating alot of candy - and neither should I.  We pulled them in the choo choo wagon and T's dad met us down there so he could see them in their costumes.  We went around and picked up a few things and had a few people take their picture.  I'm not really bothered by this, but I've never had anyone steal my pictures and use them as their own.  I do know someone that this happened to and it's scary to think about.

We then walked toward Cafe Napoli - they always ask about the babies every time we order so we thought it would be nice for them to see the kids.  Afterwards, we started our walk back home.  It took a bit longer than expected because it was all uphill and pulling almost 70 lbs uphill is not easy.  We took a break and took them over to see Melanie and then to T's parents.

Here are a few pictures from the afternoon:
