Elijah was a lion; Sammy wanted to be his Bee costume again though it was a bit small for him; and Gabi is a poodle NOT a sheep as more than one called her!
We came back for a quiet afternoon - in which Gabi got into the Halloween makeup and made herself all silly!
We headed out in our Neighbourhood for some trick or treating for an hour (it was a wonderful mild night and not even too cold!) and then to my Parent's for a quick visit and around their block for trick or treating - with lack of options for Church Harvest Parties to attend, we just skipped the one or two we did know about and enjoyed the walking outside!
our little Neighbour friend, Nate, was dressed as a lion too! Big Lion meet Little Lion!
We convinced Uncle Matt to join us around the block and glad he did because it was just way too cute to see Gabi getting Uncle Matt to hold her and cuddle into him as she was scared from some decor one house had - adorable!
I then thought Alexa might have the Marble-Works toy from Discovery Toys, so I made a phone call and picked up this toy for us to borrow!
it would be nice to get the actual marble one (this one shown is for balls moreso, also from Discovery Toys) - shall we write that down on our Christmas Wish List?!
A Best Buy opened up this weekend in town, so to attract Families in to the store, on Saturday they had "meet Dora" and Sunday was "meet Spiderman" - for a long line up, it went real smooth and quick and the rest of the crew spent a bit of that time in the Playstation semi-truck playing some games while I got us a spot. No fuss - and it's not like we really know anything about Spiderman besides his name, but it was fun none-the-less!
And here's Makenna:

I even had this shirt that Lily could wear!
Wish I got a picture of all 5 kids together. Elijah's shirt says "no questions, just put the candy in the bag"! We got it for super cheap after Halloween one year at Target. He usually wears it as PJs.
buttons, ribbons, bottle caps, ornaments, flowers... you name it!
Sammy liked the ornaments that he could hang on his pumpkin - which became "O Pumpkin Tree, O Pumpkin Tree"
and creative Elijah loves to go to town - he had quite the fake-flower bouquet on his complete with nesting bird
Fun times!
I caught Gabi chitter chattering on her phone while playing - she can do two things at once! Good job little girl - a teen-in-training I guess! ;) Wish I recorded what she was talking about!
looking over at Stanley Pk. from C-Place
pictures compliments of Kelly since I didn't bring my camera along since we didn't plan to be in Town for much more than this show
and this colourful Eagle is one of MANY Eagles around the downtown core - each with a different theme painted on them representing some company or organization
Jason and I used to 'hang out' on the steps on Robson often when we were dating and first married - watch people, street entertainers, eat the odd caramel apple from Rocky Mtn... not so much since we've had children - it was real fun though!
Saturday, October 11th we went to the Pumpkin Patch since it was a beautiful fall day!
hmmm, what to choose for my new stuffie? Underwear, shoes, Halloween costumes, shirts, pants, socks, sunglasses, guitars - you name it!
so cute, hey?!
Since bears/animals range from $12 to $30, I got Elijah to pick a bear ahead of time so that Matt wouldn't be stuck with a little boy wanting the $30 bear and be able to have enough extra to get an accessory or so - he chose the "velvet puppy"
$150 later spent per girl and we were ready to go!
(don't worry, it doesn't have to cost that much but these girls have money and are almost on their way home to China so we didn't stop them from going crazy! And they did!
