Candy, candy, candy

It started off a bit rough tonight, but ended on a high note. Poor Ken was once again late (after leaving early AGAIN) due to crappy traffic. Argh. Its really annoying, but what can you do. I had to vent, and then I was good to go. We got started over at Dad and Rita's place. Ariel of course was more into riding the horse than getting the candy.


We went down the street and got a full bag... when did giving full size candy bars become the norm? Dad came with us for several houses, and got to see Ariel run to the doors. We even got her knocking on a few herself. She was in awe of the decorations, people really go all out these days.


We then got in the car and headed over to my old stomping grounds. We ended up running into our friends the Breuls, and joined them covering the whole neighbourhood. It was a lot more than we originally planned, but Ariel was so into it with the older kids there, that we kept going. Finally Ariel's little legs were dragging and Ken had to put her on his shoulders. It was really cute.


It was funny, people were saying, 'hey, were you the peacock from the pumpkin festival?' Apparently we are famous, whee! Speaking of which, we got a call last night after we got home saying Ariel had won a prize in the draw! Woot! She got a gift certificate to the Sara's Ice Cream shop. I am sure Daddy will help her use it. Haha.

We headed home at around 830pm as Ariel was ready to crash. Needless to say, the girl collected enough candy to keep us full of sugar for several days. Look at this loot pile!


Ken is leaving tomorrow morning for a work trip and will return on Sunday, so I am gonna go help him finish packing and spend some time with my guy. We are gonna miss him. Sniff.
