Trick or Treat anyone?
posted November 5th, 2006 by George
Well, we took the kids trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood this year. We had a great time. Emily dressed up as a fairy and Nathan decided to be a brown bear. Hannah picked a cute pink flower costume her mommy made.
In the past years in SA, we really didn’t get much traffic and ended up with lots of candy left at the end of the night. This year was quite different for us. The streets were packed! I was quite surprised. One block over was a haunted house and there were easily close to 150 people on that block alone. There were kiddos everywhere in all kinds of costumes. We made two trips out to knock on doors, but Emily was getting cold and wanting to be carried, so we called it a night.
You may have also seen the picture from Christy from our gathering at Carissa’s house on Saturday. We had a great time hanging out with the the fam and watching all the cousins play. At one point the 3 older cousins that can run around were running all over the backyard with some small lights. They looked like a swarm of fireflies. And Ryan showed off his prowess on the grill. Very tasty.

Looking good, George! 🙂 Oh, and the kids are very cute, too! I’m just sorry that Emily got too cold before she made it all the way across the world to trick-or-treat at my house. I had kimchi-flavored lollipops and silk-worm-larvae gummy worms waiting for the kiddos. (Just kidding, I don’t *think* either of those candies exist, but… I won’t swear on that.) If the kids dress up again in 38 days, I’ll give them some candy then. 🙂
Hey, if I dress up in 38 days, will you give me some of those yummy Pepero sticks as my candy? (I can dress up as an exhausted mommy pretty easily.) Speaking of Pepero sticks, I guess it’s almost Pepero Day, huh?
Yes, it IS Pepero day! And, so that means it’s down to just like 34 days before you have to dress up for candy! And yes, I’ll give you Pepero, but only if you dress up as something other than yourself.
