I had one wish for Hallowe'en this year, and that was that we would all recover from the stomach flu before the candy was doled out. Happily, that was the case! Everyone was in pretty good form when they headed out in costume; and I would say for the first time, they truly enjoyed the experience. Keith got to live his dream of being a "rat mascot" and scaring people; Colin was happy to be a giraffe; Evelyn couldn't decide between a fairy, a cat or a zebra until she laid eyes on a witch costume our neighbour had outgrown and then it was an easy decision; and Malcolm... well, he did master a little growl beforehand, but for most of the trick-or-treating route he was a rather sad and tired lion. But overall, it was a busy and fun night!
Malcolm Lion and his prey. You do not want to get in between Malcolm Lion and his prey.
The pumpkins I decorated. The two on the top were a little rotten, which accounts for the odd mouth shapes (and the small third eye on the one of the left). But, of course, I had to include tongues, which I propped up with toothpicks.
Evelyn the booootiful witch

Ready to go!
Our pumpkins, lit. The Big One is Edward's handiwork.
