Happy Halloween!

Alex's favourite doll right now is Mickey Mouse, so it was rather convenient that we already had a Mickey Mouse costume that Austin wore last year! She loved wearing the costume, and in fact, even now, two days later -- she wants to keep putting it back on!

This year, Austin decided he wanted to be a fireman.

The kids had a great time trick or treating. At first, Alex wasn't really sure what to make of the whole thing, and after a few houses, she didn't want to walk anymore. But when Ryan tried to bring her home, she'd have nothing of it!

So, Ryan pulled her around in the wagon the rest of the evening, but apparently, now that she understood that every house gave her candy, she wanted to get out at every door and hold out her basket!

So, of course, now we have way too much candy in our house! Especially since we didn't get that many kids this year -- so there's also a lot of leftover candy!

And, since I'm posting Halloween pictures here; the weekend before, Ryan and I went to a Halloween party dressed as Thing 1 and Thing 2 from the Cat in the Hat:
