Alex went trick or treating for the first time tonight! I wish I had more pictures to show but our camera battery was dead. We'll have to ask the relatives for some of the pictures they took. We started the night witha  visit from "Bomma" Kathy and Granddad Mike who were kind enough to watch the girls while we took Alex out trick or treating with my friend Sherry and her family (Mark, Renee and Jeffery). Alex got upset about 10 houses along so we came home where Aunt Doris and Uncle Frank had also popped over to see everyone dressed up. Alex wanted to go to the house across the street where the lady had a bag made just for him but that was the only house on our street he was interested in. We packed up the family and drove to "Big Grandma" Alice's, "Bomma" Jen and Granddad Don's where we saw the Thistle's too and lastly to Uncle Dan's at about 9:15pm. When we got home we dumped all the treats on the floor for inspection, let Alex eat a couple then put him to bed. Took the poor kid all day Wednesday to get over the fatigue and stuffy nose but he certainly seems to enjoy it! :)

We bundled up the family and I took them to a Halloween party at the gym (Good Life Fitness) above Blackmarsh Road Dominion. Sarah wore Alex's first halloween suit and Samantha wore one my cousin Jennifer let me borrow - both pumpkins. Alex went as a Purple Dragon we bought at Old Navy. I made candy apples that stuck to the wax paper they cooled on, and little coffin shaped sandwiches. There are a few pictures here of Courtney, some of the kids playing or "passing the parcel", Alex out of his suit with a sticker stuck in his hair...It was a fun time :)
