And so at 6:40pm Luigi, a ninja, a whoopie cushion and Tracy left the house to go trick or treating. Luigi and the Ninja were very excited, the whoopie cushion felt kinda awesome and Tracy was just laughing. We looked an odd bunch!
With the boys briefed on what they needed to say and do we set off. At the first house Tracy hid behind a bush while we went to the door – can’t think why – but as we walked round the close the boys, and Tracy, got more confident. Luigi was sprinting up and down peoples driveways, peering in through the glass if nobody answered and having a good old nose in when doors were opened!
Fortunately the rain stayed away so we all enjoyed a crisp autumnal evening, with lots of excited children, elaborately carved pumpkins, scary houses and soooo much candy!

This short clip is mostly blackness but watch carefully and you may see a running Luigi and Ninja appear at the end:

With two pumpkin buckets full of candy we returned home – the witching hour was over. The boys got changed into their pj’s and started tucking into candy while we settled down to watch Scared Shrekless – a short Shrek film. Did you know Gingerbread men poop jelly beans when they’re scared!? Makes sense if you think about it!
Happy Halloween!
Luigi also went to pre-school today http://www.washingtonlife.co/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/IMG_2901.jpg
