Fabreville on Halloween is a 5-box candy neighbourhood

November 1st, 2008 · No Comments

 

So goes our first Halloween in Fabreville Ouest- we carved our first Jack-o-Lantern, laid out a giant spider web on our front steps, and then embedded plastic spiders and skeletons in it, and felt more than ready armed with 2 giant boxes of name-brand candy.
