Hallowe'en

Have you heard about this trick-or-treating thing? I got to go this year for the first time and it. Was. Awesome. Ever since Friday night I've been asking to go "wick oh weet" again. I had mama put on my bumblebee costume this morning and said I wanted to go wick oh weet for some more candy.

No, I'm not funny and cute! Let's go get some more candy!

Friday morning daddy got me dressed up in my costume and took me to mama's work. Everybody oohed and aahed over me and I got more candy than I had ever seen. That is, until mama took me out that night. The first house we went to, our neighbor's house, I got a FULL SIZE candy bar. Of course, that's the first one that daddy snagged when we got home.

We were walking in the dark with a bunch of other kids dressed up as all sort of riffraff and after the first couple of houses, I got the drill down and started running up to every house I saw. Mama had to remind me to "knock hard" because at first I was knocking so softly that no-one was coming to the door. The person would open the door and gush over how cute I was and I would stare at them until mama whispered "say trick or treat" and I would say it really quietly. It didn't take long before I figured out that whenever somebody held out a bowl I should take two candies instead of one. I even tried for three one time but mama said no.

Sometimes mama had to remind me to say "thank you" but mostly I did it OK on my own...

Time for more candy now? Ay oo!
