TRICK OR TREAT!!!

Can you believe another Halloween has come and gone??? We had a great day - lots of fun. It has rained for over a week and Tuesday it was really nice - no wind or no rain! When the girls came home from school we carved pumpkins - A cat, a scared face, a barfing pumpkin and a ghost. The girls did a great job on them. For supper we had Ghost sandwiches, monster fingers, monster toes, spooky veggies & dip and halloween punch we drank with cool pumpkin straws! We had lots of fun at supper, eating and discussing each others costumes. Hannah was going to be a lumberjack, Lauryn was Wilma Flinstone (in picture), Molly was a sleeping person and Ashleigh was undecided at supper. The 3 older girls went out with friends and I took Molly out with 3 of her friends. 2 of her friends - Patricia and Edna - are from Mexico. They don't have halloween in Mexico. Their mom, dad, and 2 cousins came with us. It was lots of fun and when they would speak to each other I would try to see if I could pick up any Spanish - being such a Spanish scholar in high school - HAHA!!!! Molly's other friend was a bit of challenge and Molly was never sure what was going to come out of her mouth when people came to the door. An older couple gave them boxes of raisins and Molly ran to me after she got them. She told me she didn't want to stick around because she was afraid of what her friend might say to the couple. I don't think she said anything but Molly was a little gunshy by the end of the night. When it was time to go home her friend didn't want to go and told me her mom wasn't expecting her yet. So, instead of trying to entertain her, I put she and Molly in the van and drove them to some friends homes for some more trick or treating. Since curfew is 8 p.m. - at 8:02 I declared trick or treating done and dropped her off at her house! The favorite part of the evening is when they all come home, pour out their pillow cases, discover and sort all of their treats. They got some really good stuff this year! Out of 4 trick or treat bags only 1 of those molasses kisses that no one likes! There's a bit of trading that goes on, and lots of munching!

So, until next year - the costumes are put away and the candy's stashed in the appropriate places! It is so much fun watching everyone have FUN!!!!!!!!
