Hallowe'en Redux

We're not going to get new costumes for Liam and Morgan this year - for a lot of reasons - but mostly because they don't eat candy (since they're not yet two years old, and neither Janne nor I come from the Britney Spears school of pathetic parenting), and therefore we're not going to put them through the whole door-to-door-to-strangers'-houses ritual to freak them out for no reason. Their world will be altered enough by kids coming around to our door looking for candy.
To fork out money for costumes just for a one-hour photo op simply isn't in the budget this year, and neither Janne nor I have had the time lately to even shop for costumes.
So instead, we present you a few pics from last year at this time, when Janne was still off work on maternity leave, our collective life wasn't quite so hectic, and we were lucky enough to have found a couple of inexpensive costumes for the one-hour photo op in our old backyard in Hamilton on a sunny October day.
Whatever you're planning for tonight, stay sane and stay safe.
