Trick-or-Treat!

It was a great evening. For our first Halloween on Ambleside I thought it was pretty safe to buy 200 treats. On Gatwick we always had 100 - 125. Well.... by 7:40 I had given out all 200 and sent Luigi to buy more. Of course all of the traditional treats were gone so he came back with 50 Kool-Aid Jammers and the kids were actually thrilled to receive their choice of flavour! When we were down to about a dozen of those Luigi went back to the 24 hour Dominion. We gave out between 270 & 280 treats altogether. Our street was like it's own festival with hundreds of people out and about. Thankfully it was a warm night so we just sat out on the front steps and admired the costumes. Lots of Indiana Jones and princesses this year. My favourite though were 2 girls dressed as Ugly Betty - complete with ponchos and wigs.

I'd love to see what your kids looked like all dressed up so send me their photos and I'll post them.
