Trug or Trating

The Halloween tide came and went, leaving about 50lbs of candy washed up on the counter.  I've been trying to moderate the kids intake, but I really should be trying to moderate my own intake...

Heeeeeyaaaaa Candy Mules!


Posing with their pumpkins.


Tobin is a turtle and Nick is a dragon.



Nick's costume was a little cumbersome for him.  He couldn't see very well with the dragon's overhanging snout, plus he had big dragon feet and hands on, limiting his dexterity.  Consequently he would be a bit behind on getting to the door.  Inevitably Tobin would get to the door first, knock and politely say: "Trick or treat".

Nick would be about 10 seconds behind, stagger up the steps on his hands and knees, ending up on the wrong side of the screen door.  He'd then have to navigate back around the screen door at the top of the steps to the correct side.  Eventually he would get to the door, and if it hadn't been opened yet he would pound on it with his fist and yell " TRUG OR TRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

TRUG OR TRATE-ing

Thanks for the good giggle! I can totally imagine the scenario.
Tobin's not looking too impressed beside the pumpkins - is that his "scary" look??
Glad it was a success. Sad I missed out.

I'm not sure why he looks so serious. I think he was probably concentrating on showing me his shell to illustrate that, yes, I am a turtle.

Poor little tykes have hardly got any "good" candy left as there has been a lot of adult sorting and snorting!

However Nana still has 50 chocolate bars left at her place if anyone is in need.

Lets see...bought a 90 bar bag, had Chris, Kirsten,Coen, Parker, Jim and Margo over for Halloween...10 kids to the door..wonder where the rest went?

No wonder I feel queasy but think I had a lot of help!

Most of the top rated websites are usually brimming with crap.
Specifically not long ago, following innovative panda algorithm criteria bring up to date.
