Alexander and Eleanor were so excited tonight - it is Halloween. It has become our tradition to dress them up and take them out "trick or treating".

Last year Alexander dressed as the Pied Piper and he made little Belle dress as his accompanying rat. For the last couple of months he told me that this year, he would go as the "Black Plague" (he is a bit obsessed by the Black Plague). We lamented that Belle would yet again have to be his rat.

There was a last minute change of plan and they decided that witches and wizards would do this year (phew, that was a bit easier). So here are some pics - the kids in their costumes and doing a bit of apple bobbing before going out "trick or treating".
