Shell Out, Shell Out, the Witches Are Out!

There were a lot of unusual goings on in the neighbourhood last night. Strange scary howling noises, and unnamed invisible things that go BUMP! in the night.
Witches and ghouls, goblins and ghosts were out enjoying their annual haunting.
But the cutest of all were these two....
Baby Isaac disguised himself as a furry cuddly beaver, complete with beaver teeth and a flat beaver tail at the back (sorry, no pics of the tail).... now, you can't get more Canadian than a beaver, right?

A slightly stunned 5 month old beaver, I have to admit. But very very sweet!

And his cousin Callum was as scary as can be dressed up as a magical green dragon. He had spikes on his head and neck and shiny green wings and a very scary spiky tail.

If this little green dragon came to your door, I bet you'd be scared out of your wits, especially when he demonstrated how a dragon can roar... or was that how a pumpkin can roar.... according to Callum, dragons and pumpkins make exactly the same noise.
You'd be compelled to put some chocolate in his bucket just to make him go away!

But it wasn't all furry animals that were haunting the neighbourhood. Aren't they scary???

And these undead visitors had me quaking in my shoes, they were so devilishly frightening!

And I still have some chocolate treats left over for me.... yum!

  1. Beavers are sweet? I'm not coming back to your country after seeing this and wondering what could have done such damage.

    Then I found one of these monsters!

  4. Oh my! I am smitten by little Callum in his dragon costume w/ his adorable little pout and all! And I was so tickled by Baby Isacc's beaver outfit I had to show Jimmy, too! Sounds like a frighteningly wonderful Halloween.

    Dogbait's comments cracked me up. :)

  8. I just wished we had that kind of tradition here. Though some do celebrate it and I hope it will spread out like wildfire in the near future.

    Awww they're just adorable! Happy Halloween btw.

  11. Great neighborhood kids but the very best are the cute dragon and beaver. How delightful, proud Grandma.
    We had mostly older hauntings at our house but they were very polite monsters anyway.

  14. Awww, what little sweeties! I'm sure you were scared out of your mind. LOL. I think that dragons and pumpkins can make the same noise, why not?
    Looks like you had a fun Halloween. Glad you saved some treats for yourself.
