It might look a lot like a normal Halloween (for our US readers, anyway!) but this was our way of doing it alternatively... 'Trick or Treat' here is code for 'let me grab as much candy from you as I can possibly get.'
So our alternative?
Halloween is about giving!!
That's right folks. We and our neighbours parked our 4-and-under year olds in front of the candy table with strict instructions to give but one piece of candy per person. Halloween, after all, is about giving, right?!! (It's either that or wait for 2 kids to come along and having to hide for the rest of the night in darkness as 'trick or treaters' come knocking)
Which is what we found Mike and Sally doing when we went to see them. We had to break into their house just to say hello!!! They were hiding upstairs watching TV in the dark!!
We also gave out Starbucks coffee and a roaring fire to those willing to risk resting for a moment!
Here are the photos...

Ready for action.
Chad and Heather joined us. It's our driveway, but their fake grass, just to clear that up.
Lizzy demonstrating the spirit of generosity. Heather wondering how she ended up with a neighbour like this.
Notice the youg children in the front line of duty. Starbucks anyone?
