Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween to all! We sure did enjoy our time with our little penguin on Friday night. Miller was so excited he could barely stand it when I told him that Grandmama and Poppy were coming over with "see-sa" (translation pizza). He waited and waited by the front door for them to arrive with his favorite treat. Little did he know that, "see-sa" was only the beginning to all his trick or treating fun. Miller loved Grandmama and momma's matching pumpkin shirts! This penguin couldn't get enough playing in the candy bucket. Miller kept digging and digging in our stash like it was a game.


Landon and Mr. Chris started off the evening carving their "punkys" in the driveway. Mr. Chris brought over his drill to carve the jack-o-lanterns 15 minutes before all of our greeters were coming to the door. What a whirlwind..Maddie and Miller dodging pumpkin juice in full costume. No, it's not mommy's style to do so much carving last minute, but it's been QUITE the busy week. Luckily they carved, scooped, and even raked the orange goop off of our grass just in time for our first trick-or- treaters...whew!


Grandmama and Poppy passed out candy from our driveway, while our family headed out for our first trick or treating experience. Our penguin was so excited to journey off that in his rush to get out the door, rolled around & around in his fat suit down the grass. Runaway Penguin!! When I rushed to his rescue, he just laughed from all the of the tumbling fun. I adjusted his hat, and we were on our way.
Miller was adorable in all of his penguin cuteness. I loved how his beak would inch down over his eyes and he would flip up his hat so he could see. I was so relieved that the weather turned somewhat chilly, so our Arctic penguin would feel comfortable in his padded, insulated suit. He proudly sat in his car while we walked with our neighbors from house to house. Grant, our neighbor friend from across the street and Miller were car buddies on the trek. Miller was mezmerized by Grant's "melmo" costume.


It was too cute to watch him figure out the whole process of asking for candy at each door. Mr. Happy Feet himself put the candy in his bag, only to take it out and share it with the other costumed kiddos passing by. He was so thrilled to take part in all the action. 10 houses and two cul-de-saks later, our penguin had enough candy to share with us so we migrated home for the evening.
