Halloween 2008. I have never really understood the appeal of Halloween. It seems a little ridiculous to go to all the trouble of a costume for one day of wear (maybe two if you have a party to go to) and then walk around the neighbourhood asking people for candy…. but it sure is fun to dress up the kids. I think that’s why most people do it.

This year we had a Buzz Lightyear and a Turtle, both courtesy of major discounts on the Disney outlet online store. Buzz spent most of the day with his fellow Buzz – friend Evan – arguing over who is in fact the real Buzz Lightyear. “I’m the real Buzz!” No I’m the real Buzz!” (you have to have seen the movie).

I dropped in at daycare for the Halloween party and observed the kids in their natural habitat, then later in the day Kei took Thomas trick or treating with the daycare group while I managed candy distribution with Samuel at home. We didn’t have as many trick or treaters this year so we have a lot of candy left over. In fact I’m enjoying some right now. 🙂
