Trick or Treat!


We had another fun Halloween night! Murray drove the kids down one end of the street while I finished getting our treats ready and whipped up the Halloween card to post. Mum & Dad came for supper so they could get in on the door to door action. Murray prepared a feast of a lasagna and everyone ate supper and dessert, even me ;)))

Once supper was out of the way, the girls threw their costumes on in a hurry. Lovey had a new one this year as her kitty cat was just too small so I picked one up earlier in the fall at our clothing sale. Honey & Sweetie just wanted to same ones again so everybody was happy & warm!

We ended up doing almost the whole street this year, a first for us. Lovey got tired before we were done though. Grandad was following in the car so she hopped in with him and got a ride for awhile and skipped a couple houses (she only missed out on popcorn so she didn't care!) At one house she was dragging herself up the driveway and was speaking in a low voice and told me "I'm tired from violin practice and my mouth is dry and my lips are dry!" Another place gave out apples and she told Grandad "just a plain old apple! we've already got THOSE at home!"

Tulip had stopped in just as we were heading out so she & her mom came along with us. Tulip, Honey & Sweetie were gung ho and raced from house to house as Lovey got more tired and lagged behind. Luckily her personal taxi helped her keep up. Grandad offered to take her home but she was very concerned about her sisters getting more treats than her. Instead, she tried to convince them to pack it in but they were determined to get to the top of the street where the house with candy apples is. They did get there and then got a "free ride!!!!!!!!!!!!" home with Grandad while the rest of the adults & dogs walked home. Lovey said that was the best part of the night!

We didn't have many kids so there are a few leftovers here but I think they'll be well taken care of!

Hope everyone had a great night!
